About the Chamber
Sixty-eight years of showing up for Clawson.
We're a 501(c)(6) member organization. We work to keep independent businesses going on Main Street, put on the events that bring people downtown, and speak up for local business.
Our mission
The Clawson Chamber of Commerce helps build up businesses in our community. We aim to foster connections between our businesses and support our residents, schools, and city.
Since 1958 the chamber has run networking events, festivals like Claws & Paws, and ribbon cuttings for new storefronts. Member dues and event sponsorships pay for it.
We are a small team. Call the office and you reach a person who knows Clawson's businesses.
