Corvallis Benton Chamber Coalition
Mission Statement
To serve, grow, retain and recruit businesses.
What is the Chamber?
Since 1922 the Chamber has been in Benton County. Over these years we have shared the fun of supporting and serving all kinds of innovative businesses that make life better and more enjoyable.
The Chamber is member-driven and professionally staffed. We are committed to the communities and people of Benton County. Our role in the community is to support businesses and their employees. We strive to make Benton County a better place by ensuring our economic engine runs smoothly and supports the services and amenities that people here have come to appreciate. The Chamber is made up of businesses from many industries and many sizes as well as associations, non-profits and individuals. Our strength lies in our diversity and our commitments to each other.
Our members work collectively to accomplish what no one business or individual could accomplish. The Chamber advocates on behalf of businesses to keep regulations and land use fair. We provide business-to-business and person-to-person networking, collective marketing and social opportunities between members. The Chamber offers training and seminars and consulting for growth-oriented businesses. We answer questions and provide information to and about the community. The Chamber is vested in the success of the community and the success of members.
