I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our community-minded organization's site. Our primary goal is to support and encourage business growth and development in the area of South Alabama, extending from southern Mobile Bay westward to Grand Bay. The Chamber, is a growing body of business owners, entrepreneurs, and private citizens, boasts over 60 active members. Last year, we moved into an office, manned 5 days a week, in the B. L. B. Community Center on Padgett Switch Road. Our elected Directors, along with any interested members, meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month for a working lunch.

Through our meetings and networking, members exchange information, share business and economic insights, and work as a team towards achieving mutual goals. We maintain open communications with area legislators and officials who assist us in supporting and enhancing the business opportunities and environment in the area. Some of our related projects include an annual Seafood Bash in Montgomery for State legislators and leaders, co-host, with other area Chambers, a seafood dinner and social hour for local legislators and officials, and a cook-out for area municipal government leaders. Our major fund-raiser, known nationally, is the Taste of the Bayou which is held annually on the last Saturday of September.

If you live in the surrounding communities of Bayou La Batre, please seriously consider membership. Meet and make new friends, become a mutually beneficial link in our network, and help our area grow and prosper. Call us or e-mail us for an application form. Please feel free to contact the Chamber office for further information. We look forward to hearing from and meeting you.
