1./ Building a Better Currituck Our Mission Statement Says it Best: The mission of the Currituck Chamber of Commerce is to foster and develop a thriving and sustainable local economy in order to enhance our community’s quality of life. We define quality of life as: » Economic opportunity for all; » Aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sound community; » Quality schools and educational programs; » Proactive management of livability issues (e.g. traffic congestion, sprawl); and » The existence of a large, dynamic and diverse tax base. In fulfilling this mission, the Chamber has a broad range of duties, yet our main priority is serving the business community and our members. First and foremost, we are the voice for business in the community. We can accomplish greater things if we work collectively as a group rather than as individuals. 2 Currituck Chamber of Commerce The Voice for Business Our Board of Directors, staff and members know the wisdom of coordinating efforts under effective leadership for the advancement and development of the community and the free enterprise system. We are a Chamber of approximately 350 members, including businesses, individuals, nonprofit groups and associations, acting as one voice in the community. Together we are a unified force, an umbrella of the industrial, commercial, civic and nonprofit interests for the purposes of concerted action. Together we are a strong voice. Our concentrated efforts support those activities, which are broader than any single business or industry, and promote the welfare of the community as a whole. The Currituck Chamber not only unites the businesses and industry of the county, it also unites the county itself. Currituck County consists of three geographically diverse areas — the vacation resort of the Currituck Outer Banks, the primarily rural communities of the mainland, and isolated Knotts Island. It’s a challenge to work for all our members, but we recognize the value of our diverse areas and seek to solidify the county as one. The Currituck Chamber is a vital source of information for businesses, locals and newcomers as well. We provide information on community development, economic development, tourism, statistical data and membership. We offer up-to-date data to prospective businesses and give as much expertise to small businesses as possible.

Michelle Kirnan Photography The Currituck Chamber of Commerce is committed to making Currituck County the best it can be. Since 1997, we have supported and worked for the advancement of the county — on the Outer Banks, the entire mainland and Knotts Island — and our work touches every resident of the county for the better.
