About
Alabama Chambers formally known as the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama (CCAA) consists of Chambers of Commerce, their executives and staff, and members of business and community organizations that directly serve chamber of commerce work in the State of Alabama.
In addition, we provide our members with exceptional services in the areas of advocacy, professional development, and communication of issues that affect the local business community. We also serve as a clearinghouse for business-related information, peer-to-peer networking opportunities and other contacts that serve the needs of local Chamber of Commerce professionals.
In 2003, the grassroots efforts of Alabama Chambers were strengthened when "The Partnership" was formed between Alabama Chambers and the Business Council of Alabama (BCA). The Partnership was the first of its kind in the United States and has become a model for other states. Together, the two groups represent the interests and concerns of over one million working Alabamians.
