From Bend Chamber of Commerce
Business is the lifeblood of any city, and for Bend, Oregon, no organization has supported the community’s best interest longer than the Bend Chamber of Commerce. Since 1926, the Bend Chamber has supported its mission to be a vital strategic partner by creating resources and opportunities for member success, quality of life, engagement, and meaningful impact. Our mission is simple; we provide a myriad of resources to help our business community grow and thrive in our ever-changing business landscape. From traditional Ribbon Cuttings to newer programs such as Bend YP, Leadership Bend, Commerce & Coffee, and What’s Brewing, the Bend Chamber provides the tools and resources Bend businesses and the community needs to succeed.
The Bend Chamber of Commerce's program Bend Young Professionals has allowed me to network here in Bend, contribute to the community and give back. It is a well run program and I enjoy being a part of it. They are a highly professional organization as a whole and I would recommend them to anyone!
The Bend Chamber is an amazing resource with fabulous staff. I highly recommend their Young Professionals (YP) group and events! They put on great events and have facilitated an awesome network of local professionals that are always welcoming and helpful.
What an amazing organization that has such a strong understanding of the Bend community and the needs of its business and people. I have to say I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to work with the Chamber during my time in Bend, in my leadership role at the Red Cross as well as someone new to the area and trying to get the lay of the land. The Chamber was there to support every step of the way for me as well as others with their various needs. Trying to solve the child care crisis, growing the visitor center and tourist industry, welcoming new people both personal and professional, helping new businesses get established in the area, recognizing the businesses that are giving back to the community and grooming tomorrow's leaders - the Bend Chamber of Commerce pitches in with it all. Pitching in might actually sell them short, they lead the charge and in doing so make every effort to bring others along with them. Great group of people working within a solid organization.
