Founded in 1879 by some forward-thinking business people, the Maryborough Chamber of Commerce is now an incorporated not-for-profit organisation. Our members include retailers, manufacturers, educators, medical practitioners, hoteliers and welfare providers, just to name a few.

Our Executive Board consists of 12 volunteer members who are elected to office each year by the full membership.
