Our History
Founded in 1985, the Woodlawn Chamber of Commerce began as a small group of local business owners who recognized the need for a unified voice in promoting economic development and business interests in our community.
Over the decades, we've grown from 25 founding members to over 500 active businesses, representing every sector of our local economy. We've weathered economic challenges, celebrated successes, and continuously adapted to serve our members' evolving needs.
