"To be the catalyst for business innovation, growth, and a thriving community where every member's potential is realized." The Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce is a business association of over 500 members, from sole proprietorships to large international companies, and local non-profit organizations. Through a full calendar of events and programs, the Chamber supports business and community growth,

provides legislative, educational and marketing opportunities to it's members. On September 14, 1915 a group of local businessmen in Wallingford held their first meeting to form a local Chamber of Commerce. By the end of the year the Chamber had 225 members! Over the years the Chamber became involved in many community and business affairs. The Chamber briefly dissolved during the depression years. The Chamber became very active during the 1950's and 1960's in such large projects as development of Community Land and local road and highway construction. In 193 Katharyn O'Hay Granahan then treasurer of the United States addressed the Chamber at their annual meeting. In 1985 the Chamber hires their first full time executive Robin Chiat Wilson. The Chamber has 230 members and a budget of $30,000! In 1986 the Chamber hires Cindy Semrau as a part time employee. In March of 1989 with a lot of hard work from the Chamber staff and the First Selectman of the town of North Haven, that town joins the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce with over 90 members. The newly formed Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce boasts over 400 members.

🎙️ Episode 5 of the Commerce & Community Podcast is now live!

In this clip, our Podcast Intern Jaylah Cochran, a freshman in the Music Production program at Southern Connecticut State University, opens up about her song “11:11.”

Originally, Jaylah wasn’t sure about releasing the song — but others connected deeply with the lyrics and encouraged her to continue developing and producing it alongside fellow students on campus.

It’s a powerful reminder of how creativity, collaboration, and believing in your voice can lead to something meaningful.

✨ Last week’s Women in Networking Luncheon was an inspiring afternoon of connection, conversation, and reflection!

A special thank you to guest speaker Crisci (Total-balance Life Choice, TLC) for her empowering presentation, “Living Your Best Life!” Her message encouraged us all to reflect on how we can create positive changes in our daily lives and continue growing both personally and professionally.

It was amazing to see attendees openly share ideas, experiences, and thoughtful reflections throughout the discussion. The support and encouragement within this group continues to make these events so meaningful.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — we look forward to seeing you at the next Women in Networking event!
