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 rich Cajun heritage 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 everything we do—local business owners, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who understand that when one business succeeds, our entire community benefits. Through networking opportunities, leadership development, advocacy, and community events, we work every day to strengthen Vermilion Parish.

I’m Claire Broussard, and I’m honored to serve as the Executive Director of this incredible organization. As a small business owner and lifelong advocate for Vermilion Parish, I understand the importance of collaboration, innovation, and supporting one another. My goal is to bring fresh energy, meaningful partnerships, and new opportunities that help our members and our community continue to flourish.

If you’re already a member, thank you for your continued investment in our Chamber and our community. If you’re considering membership, we’d love to welcome you to our Chamber family. And if you’re simply visiting, we invite you to experience the joie de vivre that makes Vermilion Parish proudly known as “The Most Cajun Place on Earth!”

We look forward to connecting with you.
