The Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization based in Holmes Beach, Florida, established in 1949 to support the growth of local tourism and the island’s business community after a postwar development boom. With a small staff and membership nearing six hundred, it acts as a liaison between government entities and private-sector interests to promote local businesses and area turismo, while collaborating with Manatee County, city officials, and regional organizations to develop programs that benefit the community. Since 2014, the chamber has operated a trolley program in partnership with Manatee County, directing funds to local non-profit and community groups to preserve the island’s environment and culture. The organization aims to facilitate networking, marketing, and community initiatives for its members and serves as a conduit for disaster response coordination through regional emergency management networks.
