The Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce helps businesses of all sizes grow, connect, and thrive.
Through advocacy, education, and meaningful relationships, we bring together businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders to strengthen the local economy and enhance quality of life across Central Fairfax.
Our History
Founded in 1956 as the Court House Square Businessmen’s Association, the Chamber began with 27 local business leaders.
As the region grew, so did we—becoming the City of Fairfax Chamber in 1963 and the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce in 1982 to better serve businesses across the region.
For nearly 70 years, we’ve remained a strong advocate for local business and economic growth.
