• From the Executive Director

  • Welcome to the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce

    Whether you live here, do business here, or are planning a visit, we’re so glad you found us!

    Vermilion Parish may be home to nearly 60,000 people, but it still feels like one big family. Life here moves at a friendlier pace — neighbors look out for one another, small businesses know your name, and community pride runs deep. From our Cajun food and festivals to our charming downtowns and southern hospitality, Vermilion Parish is truly a special place to live, work, and play.

    Since 1920, the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce has been helping businesses connect, grow, and thrive. Our members are the heart of what we do — local business owners, leaders, and dreamers who believe that when one of us succeeds, the whole community benefits. Through networking events, leadership programs, and community celebrations, we work every day to make Vermilion Parish stronger.

    I’m Claire Broussard, and I’m honored to serve as the new Executive Director of this incredible organization. As a small business owner and lifelong advocate for Vermilion Parish, I know the value of teamwork, creativity, and supporting one another. My goal is simple — to bring even more energy, collaboration, and opportunity to our Chamber family.

    If you’re not already a member, we’d love for you to join us. And if you’re visiting, welcome — come experience the joie de vivre that makes Vermilion Parish the most Cajun place on earth.
