Bowling, Bocce’s Cousin, and a Little Italian Fun! Ciao, Chamber friends! 🇮🇹 I, of course, am learning Italian for our upcoming Chamber Trip to Italy in 2027—more to come on that later! But for now, it’s time to gather your squadra (team) and get ready for our Taking Care of Business Bowling Tournament! 🎳 Join us on Thursday, August 27, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. at North Bend Lanes Back Alley Pub & Grille. Teams of four to six players will enjoy bowling, cornhole, great networking, and plenty of friendly competition. 🤝🏆 Dinner is included, featuring delicious tri-tip sandwiches and Hawaiian mac salad. Or, as they say in Italy, mangia! 🍽️🇮🇹 Of course, the costume contest is always a hoot! I’ll be dressed as an Italian tourist, so get creative and come dressed to impress. 👒📸 There will also be prize drawings, plenty of laughter, and lots of opportunities to connect with fellow businesses. And we’ll find out which business takes home the coveted Strutter Award—or perhaps the Stinker! 🏅 Teams are forming now, and we are also accepting prize donations. Visit oregonsbayarea.org to sign up and join us for a bellissimo evening of Taking Care of Business! And as […]

Investing in Chamber Leadership One of the greatest investments a Chamber can make is investing in its own leadership. 📈🤝 Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Western Association of Chamber Executives (WACE) Academy in San Francisco as I continue working toward my Chamber Executive Certification, which I am on track to complete this February. 🎓 Over several days of training, we explored topics including strategic planning, ethics, governance, economic development, workforce, business retention, and how Chambers can play a more meaningful role in strengthening their local economies. One message was clear throughout every session: Successful Chambers don’t wait for opportunities to come to them. They build strong partnerships, listen to their business community, use data to guide decisions, and help create the conditions where businesses can thrive. 💼📊 I came home with pages of ideas, practical tools, and new relationships with Chamber professionals from across the western United States. Many of those ideas align with initiatives already underway here in Oregon’s Bay Area, including our Business Readiness efforts, workforce partnerships, advocacy work, and strategic planning for the future. Professional development like this isn’t just about earning a certification. It’s about bringing home new ideas, new perspectives, and […]

Leadership Begins with Stepping Forward Leadership begins with people willing to step forward and make a difference. 🌟🤝 If you’ve ever considered becoming more involved in our community, this Friday is the final day to apply for the 36th Class of Leadership Coos! For more than three decades, Leadership Coos has helped develop informed and connected leaders by introducing participants to the people, industries, and organizations that shape Oregon’s Bay Area. 🏢🌲 Whether you’re looking to grow professionally, expand your network, or simply learn more about the place we call home, Leadership Coos is an investment that pays dividends for years to come. At the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, we often describe our role through the Three C’s: Champion, Convener, and Catalyst. We champion businesses by advocating for a healthy business climate. We convene leaders, organizations, and community partners to tackle challenges together. And we act as a catalyst, helping turn good ideas into meaningful action. 💡🚀 One exciting example is our new Business Readiness Initiative, where the Chamber is bringing together economic development partners to coordinate resources and better support businesses before challenges become crises. By working together, we can connect businesses with the right people, the right […]
