Building Business at the Lake of the Ozarks - Lake Area Chamber

The Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council is here to share information and resources to help you and your business thrive here at the Lake.  In our "Building Business" blog series, which has already featured the Tri-County Lodging Association and the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitors Bureau, we would like to add the Lake Area Chamber.  Together these organizations are helping to promote business growth here at the Lake.


The Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is a wonderful private, nonprofit, membership-driven organization comprised of nearly 600 business enterprises, civic organizations, educational institutions and individuals. The Lake Area Chamber serves the Lake of the Ozarks community including North Shore, Lake Ozark, Horseshoe Bend, Osage Beach, Kaiser and Linn Creek.  It is one of five chambers that surround the Lake of the Ozarks and is one of the largest in Central Missouri.
