What Plantation Chamber Commerce does

The Greater Plantation Chamber of Commerce, operating as Plantation Chamber Commerce, is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit business association founded in 1961 and headquartered at 7401 NW 4th Street, Plantation, Florida. It serves approximately 400 member companies in the City of Plantation and broader Broward County, with 80% of the membership composed of small businesses (retail, office, light industrial, and general business) collectively representing close to 50,000 employees across Gateway 7, Midtown Plantation, and Plantation Technology Park. The organization's functional role is to provide local businesses with networking, lead generation, community visibility, advocacy, and professional development services.

Its core product is a ChamberMaster-based membership management platform (public.plantationchamber.org) that unifies a 200+-category business directory, an event calendar covering 250+ events, a job board, a MarketSpace marketplace, and a Member-To-Member Deals discount program. Around this digital platform, the chamber operates four structured Leads Groups (Original, Power, Action, Supreme) meeting weekly or bi-weekly, and produces a calendar of signature events including Wine Jazz & Taste of Plantation, the Mayor's Interfaith Prayer Breakfast, Celebrate Plantation, the Teeing Up Fore Fun Golf Tournament, the Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon, the Women's Health and Wellness Forum, and the Mayor's Holiday Gala. A monthly email newsletter and a multi-channel social presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) extend member engagement.

The chamber is monetized through three revenue streams: recurring annual membership dues (tiered by business category and size, with a $40 one-time administrative fee for new members), event sponsorship packages sold to corporate and institutional partners (HCA Florida Healthcare, Power Financial Credit Union, Renaissance Fort Lauderdale West Hotel, Jacaranda Country Club), and advertising across website banners, the Annual Business and Information Guide, and email campaigns. The organization is staffed by three full-time executives — Executive Director Siobhan Edwards, Director of Finance Carrie Waddle, and Director of Membership Alex Ruane — supported by three additional personnel for a total headcount of six.
