Written By Donna Pammer, Executive Director, Strathroy & District Chamber of Commerce
I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of the Strathroy & District Chamber of Commerce. As a Strathroy resident, small business owner, and first-term Councillor with the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc, I’m deeply invested in the success and growth of our local business community. It’s an exciting time to get involved, and I’m looking forward to connecting with our members and creating meaningful opportunities for engagement and collaboration.
This year, the Chamber has a full calendar of events designed to help businesses thrive. Our monthly Biz After Biz networking events are back, offering relaxed, engaging spaces to connect. Signature events like the Awards Gala on May 29 and the Chamber Golf Tournament on September 12 promise to bring the business community together in celebration and camaraderie. We’re also continuing to support Women in Business and Young Professionals through regular networking opportunities tailored to their unique goals.
In partnership with the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc, the Mount Brydges Business Association, and the Strathroy BIA, the Chamber is proud to support the “Local First” campaign—an important initiative that encourages everyone to shop, hire, and support local whenever possible.
As we look ahead, one of our key priorities is expanding our reach across the region. Did you know that the “Strathroy & District” Chamber actually serves all of Middlesex County? No matter where your business is located within the county, you are part of our community—and we’re here to support you.
There’s never been a better time to get involved. Chamber membership offers a wide range of benefits including business growth opportunities, increased visibility, meaningful connections, advocacy on key issues, and enhanced credibility within the community.

Let’s make this a year of collaboration, connection, and renewed momentum. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
