The town of Brownsburg is seeing significant growth and development, evolving and positioning itself into a vibrant and thriving community.
And behind the scenes, fostering that economic growth and community advancement is the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Much more than a community-focused organization, the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce has created a network of local business and community leaders who are dedicated to the local growth and development of the town as well as sustaining it.
“The Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce engages, educates and empowers the local business community by creating opportunities for businesses to connect and grow. We engage through networking events, community events and relationship-building; educate through luncheons, resources and sharing valuable business information; and empower our members by promoting their businesses, connecting them with community leaders, and providing opportunities to build visibility and strengthen their presence in the Greater Brownsburg area,” says Kiley Chandler.
Engage. Educate. Empower. Three words that sum up the purpose of the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce. Their mission is to create a platform to unite and to form a collaborative relationship between local businesses, citizens and elected officials that encourages growth and development in the greater Brownsburg community. Coming together through chamber events, luncheons and other various networking opportunities, members are engaged in a supporting network that strengthens and sustains Brownsburg’s economic development.
The Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce helps the growth of Brownsburg by supporting local businesses and creating connections within the community. These connections offer opportunities for businesses to network, promote their services and build relationships with other business and community leaders. And with community events and collaboration with the Town of Brownsburg and other local business and organizational partners, the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce continues to advance economic growth and success of the town of Brownsburg.
Leading the charge and helping to secure Brownsburg’s economic future is director of the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce Kiley Chandler.
Chandler’s experience and education helped create a strong foundation that led her to the Greater Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Chandler graduated from Butler University with a degree in Strategic Communication and Organizational Communications and Leadership, and during her undergrad, she had the opportunity to work with organizations like The Vogue Theater and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where she developed important skills and experience in event planning, public relations, social media and community engagement opportunities. Following graduation, she managed planning and executing event operations as the director of events at OneZone Chamber of Commerce, where she also gained valuable experience in chamber operations, working with local businesses, building community partnerships, planning and executing events.
“I’ve always enjoyed bringing people and businesses together and creating opportunities for people to connect,” says Chandler.
And now, as the director of the Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce, she has the opportunity to do what she enjoys, building relationships among businesses, residents and community leaders and facilitating collaborations and partnerships among chamber members.
“I enjoy being part of the Brownsburg community and getting to know the people and businesses that make it such a great place to live and work. A big part of my role as director is looking at where Brownsburg is headed and making sure the Chamber grows with it. With a major component being to build relationships with our members, learning about their businesses, and finding ways the Chamber can support them.
“My goal is to build a more connected business community where our members feel supported and know the Chamber is a resource they can turn to. I want to continue creating more opportunities for businesses to connect with each other, increase the visibility of our local businesses, and build stronger partnerships throughout the community. As Brownsburg continues to grow, I want the Chamber to be an active part of that growth and help make sure our business community is prepared for the future. I’m really excited about the future of Brownsburg and the Chamber, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow both alongside our community,” says Chandler.
