History
The Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce was first established in 1934, with V.W. Minor as president. The organization is federally incorporated under the "Board of Trade Act". Its primary purpose is to provide a united voice for local businesses and to lobby various levels of government on issues of business concern. However, the Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce is also strongly dedicated to attracting visitors and businesses to the area and works closely with the City of Lloydminster in areas of economic development and tourism. Its administration consists of an annually elected board of 21 individuals and an Executive Board of 6 elected individuals, all who spend 4-5 years on the Executive Board and conclude this time serving for one year as President. Work is carried out by a Director and Assistant Director. The Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce is proud to have hosted provincial Chamber of Commerce meetings and to have had numerous successes in lobbying.
