Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber

What Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber does

The Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber, operating under the legal name Bath-Brunswick Regional Chamber (also DBA as Bath-Brunswick-Topsham Regional Chamber of Commerce), is a private nonprofit regional chamber of commerce headquartered in Brunswick, Maine. It serves more than 300 member businesses across 16 communities in Maine's Southern Midcoast region, including Bath, Brunswick, Topsham, Arrowsic, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Dresden, Edgecomb, Georgetown, Harpswell, Phippsburg, Richmond, West Bath, Westport Island, Wiscasset, and Woolwich. The chamber is supported by a volunteer Board of Directors (2026 roster led by President Ellen McIver of General Dynamics Bath Iron Works) and a small professional staff of approximately 7, including Executive Director Cory R. King.

The chamber's core offerings are membership-based rather than technology-based. The underlying technology is a website (midcoastmaine.com) hosting a member directory, event registration, and information dissemination. Core products and services include a tiered membership program (Cornerstone $5,000, Chamber Partner $2,000, Chamber Supporter $1,000), networking events (monthly Chamber After Hours, monthly 12@12 Networking Lunch), signature annual events (Awards Night, Hackers Ball Golf Tournament, Midcoast Tree Festival), the Eat Play Stay visitor guide, and branded sub-communities (WILL Power for women leaders, Midcoast Edge for young professionals). The chamber also facilitates the MCOG Microloan Program providing loans up to $50,000 to rural microentrepreneurs.

The chamber operates a hybrid monetization model anchored in recurring annual membership dues and complemented by event sponsorship revenue. It runs a multi-channel marketing approach including its website, Chamber Connections email newsletter, cooperative advertising, tourism partnerships (Maine Tourism Association, Maine's Midcoast Travel Explore), and physical visitor information kiosks at Kittery, Yarmouth, and Brunswick Executive Airport. Distribution channels include direct membership sales, a self-serve member directory, and visitor guide distribution at Portland International Jetport, Amtrak stations, and state information centers.
