Chamber of Commerce

Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce

Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce

Don’t feel alone if you’re confused when trying to join the real Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce and you accidentally join a different one.  The “Brentwood – Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce” confuses people with their name since only a small portion of Cool Springs lies within the city limits of Brentwood.  The overwhelming majority of Cool Springs actually lies within the city limits of Franklin, Tennessee.

There are three local chambers to consider when doing business in the Cool Springs area.

The three choices are:

-The Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce
-Franklin – Williamson County Chamber of Commerce
-Brentwood – Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce.

The “Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce”, headed by President Marti Veto, is the real Cool Springs Chamber and focuses exclusively on the Cool Springs area.  They were formerly known as “Greater Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce”.

The “Franklin – Williamson County Chamber of Commerce” focuses on the city of Franklin and Williamson County on a whole.  Their broader perspective and political reach has important economic benefits when doing business in Franklin or Williamson County.

The “Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce” focuses solely on the city of Brentwood and a handful of Cool Springs business fall within their city limits.

We recommend that you attend several events, breakfasts or networking programs that all three chambers offer.  Each has a slightly different member base.  By getting a taste of each chamber, you’ll get a feel for which one you want to invest your time, money and resources towards.  Its hard to join all three but if you do, it helps to assign different members of your organization to “work” each chamber, in order to successfully develop fruitful relationships over time.
