Washington Area Chamber of Commerce
Jennifer Giesike's Company Details
With nearly 600 members and an annual operating budget of over $2 million, the Washington Area Chamber of Commerce has been ranked the second-largest chamber in the region by the St. Louis Business Journal. Our chamber, founded in 1923, is unique because we have four main operating components; the Chamber Office, the Washington Town & Country Fair, the Washington License Office, and the Washington Division of Tourism. The Town & Country Fair is the third-largest fair in the state, bringing five days of fun and entertainment to Washington every August. The License Office came under the Chamber's direction in 1973 and processes over 70,000 transactions per year. In 1999, a lodging tax was created, with proceeds going specifically towards marketing Washington as a tourist destination. The Director of Tourism has been employed by the Chamber since the position was created.
