The Carmichael Chamber of Commerce is excited to celebrate its 75th anniversary on March 1, 2023. Since its inception in 1948, the Chamber has strived to be a resource and advocate for local businesses and a strong community partner.
The Chamber would not be celebrating this monumental anniversary without the support of our members. To commemorate this special anniversary, we extend a complimentary invitation to our current members and past Board of Directors and Chairs to join us for our Anniversary Mixer.
