Jasper Chamber of Commerce

What Jasper Chamber of Commerce does

The Jasper Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit membership organization headquartered at 302 West 6th Street in Jasper, Indiana, serving businesses and individuals across Dubois County. Its stated mission is advancing the economic, industrial, professional, and civic welfare of its members and the community. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors drawn from local employers and led by Executive Director Nancy Eckerle and Office Manager Caroline Gobert.

The Chamber's core offering is a tiered membership program with annual dues scaled by employee count and business type, ranging from $60 for individuals to $350 base for large employers (with $1.25 per employee above 150), and asset-based fees for financial institutions ($7.10 per million in Dubois County assets), hotels ($200 base plus $1 per unit), and other specialized categories. Members receive access to an online searchable directory across 100+ categories, the triennial Jasper Chamber Book, legislative breakfasts with state officials, twice-yearly health screenings via Memorial Hospital, networking events (including Time Out From Business), ribbon-cutting services, the annual Home Expo, and the Annual Meeting attended by 250+ members. The Chamber also operates a Small Business Service Center with referrals to the SBDC.

The Chamber generates no technology products and holds no patents or AI/ML capabilities; its underlying platform is a WordPress-based website (designed by IdeaFusion Media) featuring the Member Directory and event/news content. Its go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, networking events, Chamber Ambassadors who call members throughout the year, and referrals — with new members joining through a formal application process available in English and (since 2025) Spanish. Distribution is regional, confined to Dubois County, with no parent organization, external ownership, or funding rounds disclosed.
