The Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership is a nonprofit organization based in Erie, Pennsylvania, formed in 2002 through the merger of three local groups. It operates as a regional economic development entity, focusing on increasing awareness, advocacy, and access to information and education for businesses and community partners. This structure supports Erie's broader economic evolution by coordinating resources and perspectives across stakeholder networks. In December 2024, the board announced that Brandon J. Mendoza would become chief executive officer, with the role taking effect in January 2025. The organization has also advanced entrepreneurship support via the FIRE Accelerator program, launched in 2021 as a central component of its startup services, and it has hosted events like the National Civics Bee to engage the community.
