The DeSoto Chamber of Commerce understands that in order to have a strong economic environment you must have a strong community. We are truly blessed in our community to have leaders, business owners, educators and citizens who realize that we all share in the responsibility of creating economic success and happiness within our community.
It is an exciting time to be a member of the DeSoto County Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber’s goal is to work toward improving the quality of life for all through the support and commitment of its members, volunteers and committees. The Chamber is proud to promote events throughout the year to help support the community.
As the Chamber Director, I am honored to work alongside our dedicated Board who all share the same vision, business growth and healthy community environment.
