Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce

What Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce does

The Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit, membership-based business association headquartered at 160 E. Main Street in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving approximately 650 business members across Georgetown and Scott County. The organization is led by Executive Director Jack Conner and operates as the primary regional convening body for local commerce, with a stated focus on the area's automotive manufacturing base (anchored by Toyota Kentucky) and equine industries. Its core products and services include a searchable online member directory, an event calendar spanning committee meetings (Women in Business, Emerging Leaders, Government Engagement, Workforce/Economic Development) and networking luncheons, signature annual events (the Fall Golf Outing at Canewood Golf Course and the Annual Awards Reception), ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and an advertising/sponsorship program with tiered packages.

The Chamber's technology stack is built on the GrowthZone ChamberMaster platform, which provides member management, event registration, and the public-facing directory and member login experience. Its business model is a hybrid of recurring annual membership dues at undisclosed tier levels, corporate event sponsorships (presenting, gold, lunch, and specialty tiers), and event registration fees (e.g., $500 per four-person team for the Annual Golf Outing). Distribution is regional and community-led, relying on the gtown.org website, organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), email newsletters, and in-person events rather than a paid sales motion. The organization's value proposition centers on networking, advocacy, workforce development, and government engagement for local businesses, with no disclosed product roadmap, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Scott County, Kentucky.
