History of the Chamber

The Nephi Chamber of Commerce was founded February 25, 1953 as with Elmo B. (Pose) Wilson as President; Munro Pexton as Vice President; and James E Reid, Jr. as Secretary.  The purposes and functions of the chamber were announced to "Promote business activities in Nephi and to contribute to the development of the community as a whole. This includes stimulation of retail trade, the encouragement of other industries to establish in Nephi, and to do those things which will tend to make Nephi a more attractive place to live."

The Times News 1953 02 26

Reconstituted in late 2021 under the name Greater Nephi Chamber of Commerce, the chamber is a IRS 501(c)6 member organization that exists to work toward the betterment of our business members. We continue this 70 year legacy by making sure that the growth of the community is complimented by local businesses; and giving resources and support where it is needed most.
