We are excited to announce the launch of the new Central Hillsborough County Chamber of Commerce website! We encourage all members to review their information and let our staff know if any details are incorrect or need updated, as there may have been data discrepancies during the conversion process, or newer information that did not convert. To access your account, your login user name will be your primary email address, and you can then use the password reset feature to create your NEW login credentials. We kindly ask for your patience as we work through any bugs or missing information that may arise. Rest assured, we are committed to addressing and resolving issues as quickly as possible to ensure a seamless experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition!
