As a member-driven organization with over 600 members, the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce provides information, advocacy, and support to the lake’s growing business community. Our goal is to strengthen the social and economic environment of our community. SML Chamber members come from a three county area consisting of Bedford, Franklin and Pittsylvania counties. We maintain close ties with neighboring chambers in Bedford and the surrounding cities of Roanoke and Lynchburg. Much of the work of the SML Chamber is accomplished through the organization's committees, which include the Education Committee, Government Affairs Committee, Marketing Committee, Ambassadors, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee. Visit us online at www.VisitSmithMountainLake.com to meet the Board of Directors, Ambassadors, our professional staff, and the organization's latest Public Policy Agenda. Check out chamber programs, member benefits, the business directory and consider joining the most dynamic business organization at Smith Mountain Lake. Better yet, stop by our office, located inside the SML Visitors Center at Bridgewater Plaza, adjacent to Hales Ford Bridge on Va. State Route 122. The Visitor Center offers our members an excellent opportunity to display and present business products and services to approximately 50,000 informational inquiries each year and also serves as a Regional Virginia Welcome Center. It is 100% funded by Chamber activities and donations received from its guests. You can reach the Smith Mountain Lake Visitor Center/Regional Chamber of Commerce by calling 1-540.721.1203.
