The mission of the Lyons Area Chamber of Commerce is, "To support a thriving business climate and an enhanced quality of life by promoting the economic, social, cultural and environmental sustainability of the Lyons area."

Membership & Service Area: Our membership is drawn from an area that ranges from Longmont to Estes Park and from Berthoud to Boulder - with the commercial district of Lyons at its center. Chamber Members from this Service Area include nonprofits and commercial enterprises, in-home businesses and national companies, cutting-edge hightech outfits and low-tech personal service operations, sole proprietors and C-corps. A number of our Members have no business affiliation and join the Chamber as community-minded individuals who believe in our mission .

	SkillSet SEMINAR SERIES BENEFIT (a new Lyons Chamber activity) During 2008 six seminars will be offered free to Chamber Members. Each one will last about 1-1/2 hours and will require an advance reservation. Seminars will be limited to 15 people. (NOTE: If space is available after the enrollment period for Members, nonmembers can attend a seminar for $25.)
	CHAMBER MENTORING BENEFIT (a new Lyons Chamber activity) On a one-on-one basis Chamber Members with specific expertise will provide fellow Members with consulting sessions on topics like the following: Accounting; Product Development; Real Estate Development; Marketing; Raising Capital; Product/Service Presentation & Signage, and more.
	CHAMBER SOCIALS BENEFIT Approximately once a month a Chamber Member hosts a two-hour networking social for Chamber Members. Typically beginning at 5:30 or 6:00 pm at a Member's place of business, Chamber Socials feature plenty of food and drink and usually attract about fifty or sixty attendees. Chamber Socials provide the best way to meet in a group with fellow Members of the Lyons Business Community, to be updated on Chamber and community issues, to learn about the activities of other Members - and to share information about your own business or organization. The Chamber of Commerce has made the commitment to make all of its Socials "Zero Waste" events. (read our "guidelines and tips about hosting a social") This means that we strive to avoid creating any trash by making sure that all of the materials used when we gather together are either reusable, recyclable or compostable. The additional cost for this exciting new green initiative has been underwritten through the generous contribution of our new Legacy Level Member, Solman Realty.
