The Chamber Commitment: Our significant efforts to enhance Cuyahoga Falls City Schools directly supports the vision and mission of the schools. As a business organization, we are proud of what we do to improve the education of our future leaders. We are a leading example of what it means to be a business and community partner through our relationship with Cuyahoga Falls City Schools. We are an advocate for our future business leaders and we are able to promote so much of the great work our schools are doing as we have a captive audience of our business community. The Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce actively promotes a partnership of business and community succeeding together.

The Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce began in the fall of 1926 by a group of businessmen and property owners. At the Annual Meeting of the Falls Civic Association, a committee of 15 was appointed for the purpose of organizing a Chamber of Commerce. The first Meeting was held at the City Hall on November 24, 1926, followed by a membership campaign in January 1927. In 2005 the Chamber of Commerce recognized a need for a non-profit foundation that would serve the purpose of raising money to put back in the community by way of scholarships.
