The Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce is the largest not-for profit organisation representing businesses, associations and individuals operating in the Cayman Islands with a membership base of over 700 members collectively employing around 20,000 people. Around 85% of our members are small businesses. The Chamber is funded primarily by annual membership dues. It is not a government agency.

Our Mission:
The Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce supports, protects and promotes business and community success.

Established in 1965, the Chamber’s main objectives are:

• To promote and protect the trade, business, commerce, agriculture, industries and manufacturers and public welfare in the Cayman Islands;
• To consider, discuss and take action on questions directly or indirectly relating to or affecting such trade, business, commerce, agriculture, industries and manufacturers and public welfare in the Cayman Islands;
• To collect and disseminate information concerning business and the public welfare;
• To promote, approve or oppose legislation and other measures affecting business and the public welfare;
• To act as arbitrators or set up machinery for arbitration in commercial disputes.

The Chamber has a distinguished history of assisting its members and the wider community to maintain an environment that promotes economic prosperity and social harmony. Many programmes and services have been introduced to ensure that the Cayman Islands are recognised as a world class location to live and conduct business.

The Chamber initiates and supports programmes and services and speaks out on issues that help members to increase profitability, productivity and performance. The Employee Assistance programme, Junior Achievement, the Professional Development and Training Centre, Better Business Council, Chamber Pension Plan, Cayman Crime Stoppers, Mentoring Cayman, Business Expo, Career Visits, Career, Education, Training and Job Expo and regular trade missions provide members and the community with exceptional programmes that benefit business and the wider community.

The Chamber’s leadership (a Council of 12 elected individuals from among the membership) includes some of Cayman’s top business leaders and entrepreneurs who work collaboratively to fulfill the objectives of the organisation. They are supported by a professional staff with many years experience in not-for-profit management, economic development, programme and event coordination, fundraising and public advocacy.
