The programs of the Gaithersburg Germantown Upcounty Chamber are sponsored by organizations that are looking for tangible, effective ways to reach their target market in the Upcounty and support the local business community. Associating your company with the positive, pro-business efforts of the Chamber highlights your commitment to strengthening the business community. This support is critical and makes possible the many Chamber programs designed to support and strengthen small business and entrepreneurship in the Upcounty.

Our networking and special events provide a great means of broadening your competitive advantage by improving your company’s reputation, prestige, and credibility through supporting events that your community and audience find attractive.
