Melbourne Regional Chamber

Founded in 1925, the Melbourne Regional Chamber of Florida’s Space Coast has been the area’s driving force in creating an environment for business to thrive for nearly 100 years. We’ve grown from a small-town organization into a regional powerhouse dedicated to developing and promoting the business of our partners and our community at large. Over the course of the last century, our Chamber has been instrumental in the attraction of top employers and industries to the Melbourne Region as well as the formation of many other impactful organizations across the Space Coast, including the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, LEAD Brevard, the Community Foundation for Brevard, Business Voice of Florida’s Space Coast PAC and Keep Brevard Beautiful. Today, we are the Space Coast’s foremost business organization and its only 5 Star Accredited Chamber, a distinction earned by only one percent of chambers nationwide. Our operating budget is very strong and we recently successfully completed the favorable sale of our historic building and lease of new space in the heart of a local business hub near many of our Chamber’s long-term partners such as the Melbourne Orlando International Airport, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris, Collins Aerospace, Embraer, Leonardo DRS, Florida Tech and GrayRobinson.
