Chamber of Commerce of Overland Park

I think the OP Chamber of Commerce is great. They work hard to facilitate networking between members and really try to encourage you to get the most out of your membership. I would love to see some improvements on their website, such as a better member directly with a full page of content and a blog with guest blogging for members. We joined in 2013 and are looking to fully utilize this chamber’s resources this year to help grow our business.

I joined a bunch of chambers when I first started my business, not just to meet and network with new friends, but in the hopes that the chamber would help me grow my business.
The Chamber helped me meet some of my nearest and dearest friends, who I got to know first at networking events, and then developed great friendships.
But, if you think the Chamber is going to step in and help you grow your business, even if you serve on the Diplomats or on committees, it won’t happen.
The Chamber’s purpose is to propose for and fight for legislation, and to be a forum for networking. Don’t come here expecting anything else and you’ll be fine.
The OP Chamber is one of the best in KC. A great program that a friend of mine went through was «Leadership Overland Park» — an 8-​week course that introduces participants to a panoramic view of living, working, and governing in our fair city.
