Brief History & Goals: The Weston Chamber of Commerce was originally formed as the Weston Development Company in 1982 with leadership from Jeff Elsea, Ted Wilson, Gary Norris, Don Spratt and James Swaney. Known as the WDC for 22 years, it was converted to a Chamber in 2005 to incorporate the support and wisdom of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, United States Chamber of Commerce and affiliated groups.

From the beginning, the purpose of the organization has been the economic development of the City of Weston, Missouri and its environs by promoting and assisting the growth and development of business concerns.

As it was in the early stages of the WDC, this still means working to improve the City of Weston, making it not only more attractive for business, but a better place for all of us to visit and stay for a day, a weekend or a lifetime. And that means helping small and large businesses alike, creating and disseminating information on our assets, encouraging incentives for quality commercial and residential development, and creating partnerships where the whole becomes greater than the parts through the cooperation of government agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals.

Membership & Services: To further the goals and programs for the greater good of Weston, Missouri, the Chamber seeks the supports of businesses and individuals. Sponsoring businesses and organizations support the Chamber, including the Weston Visitor Center and the Weston Marketing Program though an annual $1,000 membership. Other businesses members provide $100 in annual support and individual members pay $50 annually.

Sponsors are identified and honored on all promotional materials and may place images and information on the official Weston website (www.westonmo.com). Business members are also represented with images and information on the website. Sponsors and business members may also take advantage of low-cost business websites which are hosted as part of the Weston site.
