📣 **A Message from Our 2026 Chamber President, Tracy Pierce**

As we move through the middle of summer, it is important to remember that businesses do not have to face challenges alone. Whether you are navigating workforce concerns, financing questions, expansion plans, permitting issues, or simply determining your next step, strong partners are ready to help.

Oregon’s Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, the South Coast Development Council, CCD Business Development Corporation, Business Oregon, and the Small Business Development Center can provide guidance, resources, connections, and experience to help businesses avoid common pitfalls and move forward with greater confidence. Reaching out early and asking for support can often turn an obstacle into an opportunity!

We also encourage businesses to celebrate and share their successes. When your company promotes an employee, expands its services, opens a new location, earns an award, or reaches an important milestone—shout it from the rooftops! Share your news with the Chamber and our community partners so we can help spread the word. Celebrating local business achievements builds pride, strengthens connections, and highlights the talented people and organizations making Oregon’s Bay Area a stronger place to live and do business.
