The roots of The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce go back to 1869 when the Springfield Board of Trade was founded. The GSCC has been a driving force for the local business community, as it is committed to enhancing member success and advocating for their interests. “Each day, we strive to equip our members with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive landscape,” said Mike Murphy, president and CEO. “Our dedicated team fosters an environment where businesses can truly flourish.”
The GSCC was recently recognized, for the third time, at a national level with five-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its sound policies, effective organizational procedures and positive impact on the community.
“We’re excited to build for the future through our RISE Springfield young professionals’ program,” Murphy said. “This initiative ensures that young professionals receive essential tools to become the business leaders of tomorrow. We also encourage them to engage with nonprofits, fostering a sense of community involvement that goes beyond mere residency. Together we’re shaping a vibrant future for Springfield.”
