Brewster Chamber of Commerce

About

The Brewster Chamber of Commerce has 180 members, each reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit of our seafaring forefathers and the hearty folks that launched commerce with a grist mill in 1663. With a dedicated board of directors and professional year-round staff, the chamber serves as the local visitor's bureau, is a critical advocate for local businesses, and a resource for economic and community development. The organization's mission is to strengthen, support and promote the members to make Brewster a better place to visit, live, and work.

Micro-businesses are in the majority, and those directly serving summer visitors are seasonal only. Brewster is also the “professional hub” of the Lower Cape, home to numerous engineers, architects, lawyers, doctors and dentists, veterinarians and others. 36% of the members of the BCC are in the Services Business Sector.

The chamber is the host of two, town-wide special events that bring thousands of visitors to the area during the 'shoulder seasons' of Spring and Winter, with the added benefit of funding scholarships for high school seniors and donations to local public charities. In addition, the organization hosts seminars and forums, and networking meetings and events that benefit the members throughout the year.

The BCC was granted 501(c)6 non-profit business league status by the Internal Revenue Service in 1993 and dues are 100 percent tax deductible as a business expense for members.

This web site offers extensive member information, a downloadable guide book, local and regional events, tide charts and weather, and links to other resources across Cape Cod.
