The networking
opportunities we share with agencies such as SEK Inc., the
Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Kansas
Department of Commerce and state economic development groups
set the stage for positive interaction between professionals
sharing the desire to secure the economic well being of
Chanute and southeast Kansas.
 Locally,
Chanute is fortunate to be in the position to offer economic
development opportunities and incentives that are unique to
our community. Both the Chamber and the City of Chanute
share a mutual desire to provide a business climate that is
attractive and supportive and we recognize the importance of
working collectively to secure a strong and successful local
economy. The Chamber’s program of work is growing and our
direction is clearly defined. We thrive because of our
dedicated members, and together we will continue to make a
difference in the quality of life in our community.
