SHARED CHALLENGES + SHARED SOLUTIONS =

SHARED SUCCESS

shared marketing options

As the Castine Chamber of Commerce engages in marketing and relationship building efforts, we will include our registrants' business information as applicable for that specific effort. If you would like to be included, please send us your business's information, including description, address, hours. etc.

workforce-accessible housing strategies

The Chamber recognizes that to create a commerce economy that extends beyond the summer season, solutions need to be developed regarding housing of staff and independent contractors, both seasonal and year-round. We work to create in stakeholders a commitment to a balance between Castine's Small Business's needs and the needs of those holding properties as tax strategies and summer estates.

workforce enrichment opportunities

Through shared skills and leadership development, the Chamber seeks to address the shortage of persons trained to cover small business operations and to provide maximum variety and opportunity for local workforce.

building identity for all

The Chamber has also initiated some projects that will expand our opportunities to engage as a community and practice shared joy, caring, and relationship building -- throughout the year.  Through these events and practices, we hope to spark a sustained and sustaining multi-dimensional expansion of our economy. This is one of our most rewarding, dynamic, and hopeful programs.
