Organizational Sketch:  Dothan's Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1919. By the early 1930's, the office was primarily a way to establish cotton and produce prices. In 1934 a joint committee from the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs set out to create a meaningful chamber of commerce. This modernized Chamber began on the second floor of City Hall, moving several times, before finding permanent residence at 102 Jamestown Boulevard in Dothan.
The Chamber of Commerce was accredited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and now includes over 960 businesses and individuals looking to advance all areas of the community.
