Government Advocacy for Brenham & Washington County Businesses
The Washington County Chamber seeks to be the guardian of the local economy and the catalyst for change through the coordination of local leadership. The Chamber coordinates interested parties in solving community challenges and initiates community action that will benefit the community and the members of the Chamber.
The Chamber exists to be the “voice of business” at the local, state and federal level, and encourages all members to stay active by taking advantage of opportunities to provide feedback and encourage each individual to exercise their right to vote in elections.
