FROM THE CHAMBER
In this world of social media, marketing options and information overload, I get asked by business owners and organizations what is the best way to increase their local visibility and create more sales. My answer is your Chamber membership will do that for you.
As a Chamber member you will get involved and discover that meeting prospects and key contacts through the Chamber monthly general membership meetings, leadership Hermiston, business expos, and chamber-led networking events that will increase traffic to your door. Doing business with fellow members who offer wonderful products, ideas and services on a local level is exciting and will increase awareness of how valuable it is to patronize locally. The Chamber offers a variety of educational classes and brings in world class speakers, experts and training specialists on topics that strengthen business and provide the tools to help business growth. The Chamber encourages businesses to continue education and offer these lessons to staff as well as upper management.
The Chamber is the most active Chamber in the area, with a staff that is here to serve every need whether it is the business community or those seeking information at the visitors center. There is a wide range of information, brochures and magazines for those looking to take a vacation or those looking to relocate in our area.
