The Livonia-Westland Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that represents more than 1,200 members, promotes Livonia and Westland, and supports the whole business community.  The Livonia-Westland Chamber of Commerce was formed in the Fall 2023, when the Livonia Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1950, and the Westland Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1962, decided to strategically align the two organizations.  

The Chamber has provided leadership with its initiatives to promote careers in the skilled and technical trades, collaboration among political and business leaders across western Wayne County, and engage with ethnic business communities to attract economic development opportunities from foreign companies.  Businesses and organizations gain credibility, referrals, and advocacy through its engagement with the Livonia-Westland Chamber. Local consumers are more likely to do business with companies that belong to their local chambers because they view such companies as more credible, according to national studies.  

The Livonia-Westland Chamber can help you building meaningful business connections, improve your businesses visibility throughout the community and assist in promoting your business. Visit the Livonia-Westland Chamber Website for more information or following them on Facebook for information about upcoming events.
