We are excited to work alongside Brian as the Chamber progresses and moves forward. We know he will lead the 2022-2023 Board of Directors into a successful path. Congratulations Brian! 


Congratulations to Bravery Brewing on receiving Business of the Year at the CHCC Convention and Business Expo as well.

Submit your application at seam.ly/LT9W6QUn. Food vendors must also submit an application with Raw Inspiration at adobe.ly/3ojKf8M. Black Owned Business Month is traced back to 2004 when Frederick E.

Now, August is an annual reminder to acknowledge and appreciate Black-owned businesses in Lancaster and beyond!
