Your Chamber Working for You!

The Portland Regional Chamber is an advocacy-focused organization, and businesses invest in the Chamber each year knowing that we are watching out for their best interests

The Chamber serves to educate, organize, and advocate. We are a voice for businesses and employers when action is needed, and a resource for those seeking opportunities to get involved. Through continuous surveying and member engagement, we work to stay current on the most critical economic issues facing the Region. We're a champion for businesses like yours.  

​Our advocacy committee engages in issues that could negatively impact the business community, and carefully crafts strategic positions on policy matters. As a constant presence on the front lines representing the voice of Chamber members, our efforts ensure the Portland Region stays vibrant and prosperous for years to come.
​
The Chamber offers an Advocacy-focused newsletter for members who wish to stay informed on both our efforts and additional news from local and state government (subscribe above).
