WELCOME TO THE

Hancock Chamber of Commerce

Connecting You To Build Your Business

The Hancock Chamber of Commerce is the county’s largest business advocacy organization. Through our 1,500 member representatives, we bring together the collective vision of our area businesses, community partners, elected officials, young professionals, youth, educators, non-profit organizations and engaged citizens to work cooperatively for the future of our community.

Applications are now open for the 2025/2026 Leadership Hancock program through July 31, 2025. Click here to apply.

This year’s gala—a centennial celebration like no other—will be held on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 5:30 PM at Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast. Early registration is strongly encouraged, as the event traditionally sells out.

Both seating and sponsorship opportunities are available here. 

The Chamber is also accepting contributions for its silent auction to benefit its 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm, the Hancock County Community Development Foundation, which supports 20 nonprofit causes each year. To donate, please contact Mary Cowand at (228) 467-9048 or mary@hancockchamber.org.
