The Cordova Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization comprised of a diverse group of local and regional business members. In addition to operating the Cordova Visitor Center, the Chamber’s work is divided into four main program areas: economic development, business support, quality of life enhancement, and destination marketing.
