THE CHAMBER DIFFERENCE
A place to change lives and make history
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business organization representing companies of all sizes across every sector of the economy. Our members range from the small businesses and local chambers of commerce that line the Main Streets of America to leading industry associations and large corporations. They all share one thing: They count on us to be their voice in Washington, across the country, and around the world. For more than 100 years, we have advocated for pro-business policies that help businesses create jobs and grow our economy.
At the U.S. Chamber, you will be part of an experienced, spirited, and forward-thinking team that enables us to be the guardians of businesses, industries, and governments when what they need most is resolute direction and guidance. This means a chance to make a real difference. Our talented staff includes professionals with diverse skills and expertise from various backgrounds, which ensures access to the brightest minds, most influential people, and the opportunity to grow no matter where you are in your career.

CHAMBER CARES
Embracing a culture of service and inclusion
Chamber Cares, which embraces a culture of service and inclusion, creates a fulfilling and impactful community for employees to connect through volunteerism, internal connections, and partnerships.
MAKING AN IMPACT
At the U.S. Chamber, we have a strong belief that we exist to serve others—and that includes the communities in which we live and work.
Throughout the year, Chamber employees make an impact on the lives of others through volunteer opportunities. Current partnerships exist with local nonprofits like SOME, Miriam’s Kitchen, Operation Gratitude, the American Red Cross, the Capital Area Food Bank, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, A Wider Circle, Hands on DC, and Martha’s Table. Our signature employee event, A Week of Service, engages all employees in serving their local communities.

Donohue at the Shared Purpose Awards honors colleagues who embody our values of commitment, accountability, partnership, and integrity. |
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS
We support and empower employee resource groups (ERGs), which are open to all, so that like-minded employees can build stronger internal communities.
The Working Parents group supports all types of families through all phases of parenthood by providing resources, guidance, and encouragement from peers. | The Chamber Pride group promotes an inclusive community for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and ally employees. Chamber Pride is a visible, accessible resource for employees who identify as LGBTQ+ and provides networking, educational, and social opportunities for LGBTQ+ employees and allies. | The Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging group (DIBs) serves as a resource to promote and embed a culture where employees feel valued and heard, regardless of race, creed, and ethnicity. DIBs empowers employees to promote diversity and equity by building an inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable bringing their whole self to the organization. |
OUR IMPACT
The voice of business in Washington
American businesses serve people, solve problems, and save lives. They create jobs—and with them, opportunity, security, and prosperity—in communities across the country. This is hard work, with many uncertainties and obstacles, but America’s job creators get up and do it every day because they believe in the power of business to be a force for good in our society.
At the U.S. Chamber, we get up every day to help them do it. The government plays a role too. With the right decisions, our leaders help, rather than hinder, business-led growth. That’s why we fight for the policies we need to help businesses lead our economy out of the worst downturn since the Great Depression and fight against the crippling partisanship that stymies progress. Businesses need the right regulatory environment, trade agenda, legal system, workforce policies, and rules for the modern economy to drive the growth that will lift our country and help our people. Our job is to help them get it.
