This week at the Chamber, we are focused on both progress and supporting one another.

We continue to advocate for our community by writing letters of support to help local organizations secure grant funding for important projects that strengthen our region. This work is critical to ensuring continued growth, opportunity, and resources for the place we all call home.

We are also preparing for a full lineup of Wednesday Business Connection luncheons in April, featuring forums on local and state races that matter to our business community. These forums are designed to help you stay informed, engaged, and ready as we head into the upcoming elections.

Upcoming event is the Oregon’s Bay Area Home Show 2026 - Presented by Primal Property Management, on April 24-26 at the Pony Village Mall in North Bend. Friday 4pm-6pm (5-7pm Afterparty with the Chamber AFTER HOURS). Saturday 9am-6pm - Family Day, ends with Balloon Drop of Prizes. Sunday 10am-4pm - First Responder Vets & Seniors Day.

At the same time, our Chamber family is grieving the unexpected loss of one of our members. Like many of you, we are still processing this loss, and our hearts are with their family, friends, and colleagues.

If you are looking for ways to support, there is an active meal train being shared on Facebook, donations are being accepted at Banner Bank, and a GoFundMe has been established. If you need help finding this information, please don’t hesitate to contact the Chamber.

This is what makes our Chamber so special—we show up for each other. In both celebration and in hardship, our members stand together and lift one another up.

As always, our business is helping your business!
