The Boaz Area Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit membership-based chamber of commerce founded in 1947 and headquartered at 100 E. Bartlett Street, Boaz, Alabama. It serves local businesses, community leaders, and residents of the Boaz Area in southeast Alabama by operating as the primary business-community liaison.

The Chamber's product surface extends substantially beyond directory and membership into community programming. It operates a portfolio of signature events including the 61st Annual Harvest Festival (October 2026), the 6th Annual Golf Tournament (June 2026), the Annual Chamber Banquet (April 2026), the Christmas Parade, and the Scarecrow Trail and Tinsel Tree Trail.

The Chamber's revenue model combines recurring annual membership dues, transaction-fee event revenue (Golf Tournament team registrations at $250/four-man team, hole sponsorships at $150), and corporate/member event sponsorships. Distribution occurs through a weekly Mailchi newsletter, the online directory, social media (Facebook), and direct member communications. Geographic scope is restricted to the Boaz Area and surrounding southeast Alabama region.
