About the De Pere Chamber of Commerce

Our Mission is to make De Pere a destination for living, travel, and business
Our Vision is to drive economic growth in the community through De Pere Chamber events, programs, and resources.

The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce (DPACC) traces its roots to 1895. It started as the De Pere Chamber of Commerce before becoming the East De Pere Businessmen’s Association and the West De Pere Business Association. In 2001, it became known as the De Pere Business Alliance, a joint venture between the De Pere Development Corporation and the De Pere Area Business Association. Finally, in 2007 it was rebranded to the De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce.

Today, the DPACC has hundreds of members, representing thousands of employees in the De Pere, Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, Ledgeview, Wrightstown and more! We engage in economic development, event planning, and community improvement.
