Through partnerships and advocacy, we support free enterprise and the long-term prosperity of our community.
The South Dade Chamber of Commerce is a group of business people working together to build a healthy business environment, cultural advancement and social harmony.
Our mission is to strengthen the economy of South Miami-Dade and enhance the quality of life for our residents and visitors through programs of voluntary action to preserve and protect the American system of free competitive enterprise; and to advance the economic, civic educational, cultural and social well being of the South Dade community. The Chamber works to influence public policy and promote the commercial, professional, industrial, civic and general interests of the South Miami-Dade County community and its trade area, by sponsoring and encouraging the improvement and proper development of the entire South Miami-Dade area. We provide the environment to help our members prosper and succeed through a proactive working partnership with all levels of government and community organizations to achieve a healthy local economy and quality of life.
Originally named the Homestead Chamber of Commerce, the chamber was reorganized in 1917 and was renamed the South Dade Chamber of Commerce. Officers and directors were elected from Silver Palm, Modello and Redland, as well as the two cities, giving it a more regional view.
