A big “Thank You” goes out to these businesses for their support of the Clay County Chamber of Commerce.  It is support from members like these that allows the Clay County Chamber of Commerce to continue its work to better the economic, civic and social well-being of our great county.

About Clay County Chamber

When the great and friendly folks of Clay County come together – the sky’s the limit! We’ve been called the “Volunteer County of Alabama” for many reasons. When friends and neighbors need help, Clay County folks show up. When these same folks join the Clay County Chamber of Commerce, things get done, too!  That friendly and volunteer attitude of all the Chamber members and the entire community unifies us and produces extraordinary accomplishments in our county.

The mission of the Clay County Chamber of Commerce is to provide leadership and promote the betterment of the economic, civic and social well-being of all Clay County.

We consider Clay County as the “Heart of East Central Alabama” for many reasons. Located in the foothills of the Talladega National Forest, we are truly at the crossroads of the scenic beauty of east central Alabama. Two major highways, Alabama 9 and 77, connect us north, south, east and west.  We’re blessed with abundant natural beauty, lots of rural land, hard working people, and a small town atmosphere people enjoy working and living in.

The Clay County Chamber of Commerce works with our business community to be the “point man” on promoting all our businesses. The Chamber is a resource center that helps people establish, grow and improve business. The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization supported by member investors, the City of Ashland, The City of Lineville, and the County government.

The Chamber of Commerce main office is located in the city of Lineville, on Hwy 9 across from the old theater.  We also have a satellite office in Ashland inside our historic Courthouse on the Ashland Square. Our staff is small – one full time Executive Director, Mary Patchunka-Smith and a few volunteers. That’s Mary in the photo with Governor Riley in 2008 receiving our award for participation in the 2008 Alabama Year of the Arts. The Chamber’s main office is open from 8 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday but you can get a lot of information off of our website and leave an email anytime. We answer all phone messages and emails promptly. We welcome inquiries from visitors and citizens alike.

The Clay County Chamber of Commerce exists to provide leadership and a strong and effective voice to our citizens and business communities – all working toward common goals. Those goals include the orderly growth and economic development of all of Clay County .

We believe communication is a vital key to Chamber of Commerce membership. Problem solving, positive publicity and strong public relations grow from the joined efforts of people working together. Chamber of Commerce forums and programs are where the seeds for business opportunity are planted. Whether it is after-hours casual conversations, morning coffee networking, grand opening business acquaintances, or cooperation in civic projects, members have the chance to establish the relationships that nurture individual business and bolster the success of our community initiatives.

The Clay County Chamber of Commerce is here for you – whether you live and work here now or are considering establishing a new home or business in our county.  We will do whatever we can to assist you. It is our hope that we have shared a lot of ourselves and our county through our website and look forward to hearing from you soon.
