About the Chamber:
The Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce was founded in the 1950's as the "Mount Olive Businessman's Association." In recognition that a post war migration of citizens would bring with it a growth in retail ventures and, ultimately, employment opportunities as residents demurred from the long commutes to jobs. Understanding there was a need for a strong economic advocate, the association regrouped in 1966 as a Chamber of Commerce.
Today, the Chamber of Commerce continues to advance the commercial, industrial, professional, and civic interests of the area, preserve the established business community, promote stable growth, and provide a vehicle for the exchange of information and ideas. We attribute our growth and strength to a steady focus on the primary reasons why businesses join the Chamber of Commerce: "To do together what they cannot do by themselves."
Mission:
The mission of the Chamber of Commerce is to make Mount Olive Area the most business-friendly region in America. As business prospers, so does the Township, the state of New Jersey, and the United States of America.
