The ABOT Mission Statement

The Allston Board of Trade, established in 1932, serves the Allston business community and the neighborhood as a whole. Serving typical chamber of commerce functions, ABOT was founded as and remains a government liaison for local business; while keeping a functional community service focus. ABOT’s goal is to help maintain Allston as a vibrant community in which to live, shop, work and raise a family.

Allston is a community of diversity…a population with a wide range of age groups spanning the ethnic and religious spectrum. ABOT membership reflects that, with an array of businesses, organizations and institutions; and a continuing commitment to adapt to Allston’s growth and diversity.

Collectively ABOT’s “Mom & Pop” stores, regional companies, worldwide conglomerates, renowned healthcare facilities and celebrated educational institutions provide goods, services and employment to thousands of area residents, to America and to the world.

ABOT is proud of its commitment to serve Allston’s diverse community.
