History of the Chamber
The Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce (NRICC)
resulted from the 1991 merger of the Blackstone Valley and Woonsocket
Chambers of Commerce.
Both Chambers dated back to the 1880’s placing them among
the oldest chambers in New England.
In 1969 The Blackstone Valley Chamber was among the very first chambers to be accredited by the
US Chamber of Commerce at the inception of the accreditation program
with continuous accreditation for 38 years. In 2004 under the new
accreditation program the Chamber became the first in Rhode Island to
receive a four star accreditation.
