About

Our mission is to provide support, connection, and education to our members in order to enhance the business climate and help businesses succeed.

The Crete Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary association of businesses and individual professionals who, through committee and community involvement, contribute to the Crete area’s commercial, industrial, and civic development.

Sharing the goal of the City of Crete to reenergize and renew, the Crete Chamber strives to continuously and effectively make Crete a better place in which to live and work. It does this by:

  • Serving the business community with integrity and honesty.
  • Providing leadership and connection for its members.
  • Celebrating diversity by creating a supportive business climate that is inclusive for all in the community.
