The Cullman Area Chamber of
Commerce is one of the largest membership driven business
organizations in the state for a community of our size. In the
early years, Cullman was a small agricultural town that was
struggling to generate revenue and grow despite the after
effects of the Great Depression and the onset of World War II.
Under the leadership of the first Chamber President, Raymond
Yost, and several prominent businessmen, the Cullman Area
Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1943. This group worked
together to promote the community and became a driving force for
business and industry.
The Chamber of Commerce has taken
an active role in the continuing effort of ensuring that the
Cullman area remains a wonderful community, teeming with growth,
economic stability, and a modern way of life. It is through the
support of area businesses, community leaders and volunteers
that this goal is being realized. Our committees, activities,
and programs create a unique environment that encourages both
networking and community involvement. For over 60 years area
leaders have been utilizing the Chamber of Commerce as a base of
strength. The Chamber staff and volunteers continue to build on
that strength, thus sustaining a sound economy for the Cullman
area. |
