Located 22 miles directly South of Indianapolis, Franklin, Indiana has the personality of a small town wrapped up in a small city.
Through this website, the Franklin Chamber of Commerce is committed to providing visitors with information about Chamber events and members, as well as information to individuals and businesses about becoming Chamber members or relocating to the Franklin area.
The Franklin Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of the business community.
Through a number of programs and events, the Franklin Chamber strives to strengthen the City of Franklin by “Linking Business with Community”.
Chamber Members:
The Membership and Public Relations Committees have held several joint meetings this year to discuss forming a Chamber Ambassador program for the Franklin Chamber of Commerce. Through these discussions it was decided that an Ambassador Program would be a positive program for our Chamber.
The Ambassadors will work with the Chamber staff on recruiting and retaining members. They will attend Chamber events and mentor new members. The Ambassadors will be able to meet with Chamber member decision-makers on a professional basis while helping the Chamber meet membership goals. The motivation and commitment of the volunteer Ambassador is important to the success of the program. Applicants should exhibit a sincere willingness to volunteer and a positive attitude.
If you are interested in becoming a part of this exciting new Ambassador program, please contact the office and we will send you an application and Ambassador Handbook. Completed applications must be returned to the Chamber office by September 15th. Ambassador duties will begin in January 2009.

2009 BOARD OF DIRECTORS INFO
Chamber Board members work very hard to support and promote the ideals of the Franklin Chamber. Sixteen individuals give their time every year to oversee the workings of this organization. Without them, the Franklin Chamber would not be what it is today. The Nominating Committee has diligently worked on a slate of Chamber Board members for 2009.
The 2008 Nominating Committee has slated the following individuals for the 2009 Chamber Board: Running for re-election are Jim Hemmelgarn, Lisa Jones, Lynne Haste, Deena Kelly and Sally Wells. New nominees are Martha Clark-Pfifer-Franklin College, Greg Moore-Sylvan Learning Center, Elaine Pesto-Express Employment Professionals, Joe Williams-Jarvis Realty Group, and Jennifer Wilson-Lincoln Bank. If there are any additional nominations, they should be forwarded, in writing, to the Chamber office prior to the Luncheon on September 11th. If the slate is unopposed, the nominees will be declared elected at the Luncheon. If the office receives any additional nominees prior to the luncheon, a secret ballot vote will be taken at the luncheon and votes will be tallied by the Executive Committee.
Current Board members not up for re-election include: Anji Brown, Vicki Garrett, Michelle Hardcastle, Brian Lumsdon, Betsy Schmidt, and Steve Vance. Todd Bemis will be retiring from the Board after six years of service. We would like to thank Todd for his service to the Franklin Chamber of Commerce.
If you have any questions about the Franklin Chamber Board of Directors, or the election process, please feel free to contact the office. We appreciate the support of these individuals; the success of the Franklin Chamber would not be possible without their dedication.
