About Us

Bay County Chamber of Commerce

Since 1913, the Bay County Chamber of Commerce has supported businesses across Callaway, Lynn Haven, Mexico Beach, Panama City, Panama City Beach, Parker, Springfield, and Bay County’s unincorporated areas. Our goal is to create lasting value for members, champion economic growth, and lead our community forward. We proudly collaborate with local military installations and other partners to build an environment where businesses can grow and succeed.

Our mission is “to create superior value for all Chamber members, large and small; to cultivate economic and personal development; to promote and protect a competitive enterprise system of business; and to be a community leader while embracing Bay County’s opportunities and challenges.”

 

How We Operate >> The Chamber is an independent, member-owned organization, governed by a Board of Directors, and managed by a dedicated staff. We’re not part of any government entity or division of the U.S. or State Chamber. In fact, 85% of our members are small businesses with 35 or fewer employees, ensuring that the voice of local businesses drives our mission and actions.

 

Our Impact >> Over the years, the Bay County Chamber of Commerce has tirelessly worked to Build a Better Bay through impactful projects and partnerships that strengthen our community. Key initiatives include supporting the Panama City Bed Tax, championing the Renewal of the Infrastructure Surtax, securing Bay County’s designation as a coveted Coast Guard Community, and supporting the Bay Defense Alliance.
