Mission and programs · 2025

• Public Policy and Government Affairs - Identify issues of concern and work with elected officials to promote policies and programs to stimulate the areas economic growth and create job opportunities. Our top priorities this year were housing and homelessness, public safety, roads and infrastructure, and paid sick leave/minimum wage adoption, and talent retention and attraction.

• Member Services - Strengthen the Chambers membership and improve services to members with special emphasis on member recruitment, retention and activation through continued communication with members. Discount programs for members included office supplies, workers comp insurance, tuition discounts, fuel, and internet service. Publication of our bi-monthly e-newsletter highlights members and offers advertising opportunities. We welcomed 570 new members and retained 83% of our current members.

• Programs and Events - Provide opportunities for business networking through a variety of member events. While we continue to provide quality meaningful events, we are focusing more on impactful outcomes for businesses through thoughtful connections, quality interactions, and consultations.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
