Strategies & Initiatives

The Erie County Chamber of Commerce leads with a strong voice for business, assists with other community organizations to expand the local and regional talent base. It serves as an advocate for issues important to your business as well being a supporting part for community infrastructure, future expansion and other priorities.

Expanding the Talent and Keeping Them

In this day and age, jobs follow talent. We must be committed to attracting new residents to fill available jobs, increasing the number of skilled tradesmen and college degrees earned in our area and finding new ways to connect employers with skilled workers. The Chamber develops programs and services based on member feedback through a variety of channels. As we look at the next generation of employees it is more likely to first select where they want to live and second where to find a job. Developing an attractive cohesive brand that demonstrates the solidity of Erie County will set us apart not just locally or regionally but throughout the world.
