NORTH VERNON, Ind. — After more than a decade of inactivity, local entrepreneur Sean Webster addressed the North Vernon City Council about plans to bring back a North Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

The organization has filed for 501(c)(6) non-profit status and will operate as an independent, volunteer-led entity without requesting municipal funding from the city.

The chamber aims to support, advocate for, and connect local businesses while offering educational workshops, such as graphic design training, to help small business owners expand their marketing capabilities.

Councilman Jarrod Daeger will serve as the city council liaison to the newly formed organization to ensure ongoing communication between municipal officials and the business community.
