On behalf of the Niceville Valparaiso Bay Area Chamber of Commerce I welcome you to the community. Our business climate and homes are truly blessed. No matter your length of stay, please take the opportunity to visit our many beautiful parks and recreational areas. The scenic views and enjoyment that they offer are a reflection of why our community is so proud. Surrounded by military properties and the pristine waters of the bayous and bay it becomes evident why so many visitors return and so many locals stay for a lifetime!

With an education system second to none our families have the opportunity to succeed. Niceville Senior High School was selected as one of twelve schools with the designation of a National School of Excellence. Additionally the International Baccalaureate program is offered at the high school. Nestled in our back yard is the main campus of Okaloosa Walton Community College. OWCCs academic and sports programs excel year after year. With a fine arts center admired throughout the southeast the college offers Broadway plays, musicals, and a variety of other entertainment for our cultural delight. With the recent addition of the amphitheatre we will certainly look forward to stimulating outdoor performances. The leadership at OWCC continually strives to position the college as the best in the state! Education is important to us!

Within the natural beauty of our paradise is the business community. It is our goal to promote the welfare of the business climate by supporting those programs that aid in improvement of economic development and growth. A healthy prospering economy provides benefits well beyond the bottom line. The Chamber leadership team and membership recognize the virtues of our area and continually supports those activities that enhance the quality of life for all. Our involvement helps to perpetuate the basic ideals that are fundamental to the wellbeing of our families, our businesses, and our country.

I encourage you to become an active participant in the prosperity of the community and the Chamber. Please stop for a visit at our new facility so that we may share even more why the Niceville Valparaiso Bay Area is such a jewel on the emerald coast.

Together, We make a difference!
