Member Benefits

We’re a small team doing BIG THINGS in our community.

Our Chamber:

The Belle Fourche Chamber of Commerce serves to promote our members, the commercial, civic, and general interests of the city of Belle Fourche, and our trade area. 

As a voluntary organization our aim is to represent and advocate for our members and the business community as a whole. 

We are not a civic club, a charitable organization, or department of city government.  We are a private, non-profit, taxpaying corporation focused on improving the community and businesses of Belle Fourche.

We’re comprised of people — people just like you, who realize that we can accomplish more collectively than individually.

Our Chamber Board of Directors consists of 9 elected positions, 2 community liasons, and our Executive Director. 

The goal of the Chamber Office is to provide many membership services, whether free or for a nominal fee.
