Saipan Chamber of Commerce
The Saipan Chamber of Commerce is an association aligned to make a difference in the Commonwealth
community. The Saipan Chamber of Commerce started even before the political status of the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) was defined in 1978. Towards the end of 1959, a
group of entrepreneurial businessmen got together to form a loose association of businesses. Back in
the 1950's the population of Saipan was still very small, there were hardly any cars on the island,
no resort hotels, no traffic lights. But what the islands did have was the spirit to move forward
and use business to bring prosperity and a diversity of services to the people who live
here.
Today the Saipan Chamber of Commerce has 142 members ranging from sole-proprietors to large resort
hotels, service companies, tour agencies, insurance firms to construction companies. The diversity
of our membership reflects the diversity of the people of the Commonwealth. Learn more at their
