SML Regional Chamber of Commerce

With more than 700 members, the SML Regional Chamber of Commerce provides a steady stream of networking and referral programs in support of its mission to promote tourism and grow business.

The organization hosts signature events throughout the year, which include the SML Business Expo, Restaurant Week, Wine Festival, SML Invitational Golf Tournament and Fall Chili & Craft Festival.

More than a local resource connecting the business community, the Chamber generates year-round tourism campaigns to support steady growth.

Utilizing nearly every media option, the Chamber shares what it knows to be true, that Smith Mountain Lake is one of the finest mountain/lake travel destinations on the East Coast.

The Smith Mountain Lake Newcomer and Visitor Guide in print or electronic form validates this message.

The Chamber also spearheads the local business community’s involvement in public policy initiatives.
