Samoa Chamber of Commerce
THE SAMOA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY INCORPORATED IS SAMOA’S
NATIONAL PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANISATION
It is an incorporated association of businesses and private sector
organisations representing all areas of Samoa’s private sector.
The Chamber’s purpose is to act as Samoa’s National Private
Sector Organisation and in this capacity, promote the interests, well-being
and growth of Samoa’s private sector at the national, regional
and international levels to improve the economic and social well-being
of the people of Samoa.
Although originally formed in the early 1900s by the Merchants of
Apia, the organisation was revived and took its current form in the
1970s. By 2015, The Chamber had grown to include more than 300 members
representing a cross sector of Samoa’s business community.
The Chamber’s membership also includes two large private sector
organisations (PSOs), namely Women in Business Development Inc(WIBDI)
and Samoa For Real. It also includes other smaller PSOs representing
micro businesses in the cultural and handicrafts industry. The Chamber’s
role as Samoa’s National Private Sector Organisation is supported
by these groups.
The Chamber is governed by a 12 member Executive Council, all serving
on a voluntary basis. Representatives of WIBDI and Samoa For Real
have an allocated seat on the Executive Council. Executive Council
Members are elected on an annual basis at Chamber’s Annual General
Meeting, held each March. Regular members’ meetings are held
on a monthly basis.
