About the chamber
A bigger idea of who commerce is for.
CrownHouse Chamber is a privately owned, nationwide organization built around a simple conviction: business growth should create more room for people to participate.
“Fairness and equity should take center stage.”
Founder Earl E. “Duke” Ennis started CrownHouse Chamber with a broad view of what a chamber can be: not only a place for introductions, but a platform for practical business support, shared resources, and meaningful participation.
That founding perspective shapes the organization’s work today. CrownHouse Chamber connects merchants and entrepreneurs to one another, to new customers, and to programs that can help them navigate growth with more confidence.
