Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce

Ravenswood is Greater Together

What makes us different? As a young chamber, GRCC has been able to grow and develop programs tailored specifically to this eclectic business community. Our flexible, collaborative, and inclusive approach allows us to address the complex needs of our members — from industrial manufacturers, retailers, service providers and restaurants, to start ups, artisans, non-profit organizations and everything in between.

We’ve got momentum behind us and a bright future ahead. We want you to be a part of it. We’re Greater Together.

Our Mission

We are guided by the belief that creativity, sustainable living, and diverse industry position Ravenswood as a destination neighborhood. We create programs and provide services that connect the dots between businesses, residents, non-profit organizations, local government and area schools.
