We’re Movin’ Out!

 



To commemorate our 130th year, Your Chamber has undergone some important changes. From adapting to virtual programming, to an entire rebranding, and now...a new location.  

We’re excited to announce that we are officially heading out of our 1101 Broadway offices, into a fantastic new location that will serve our members in more modern ways. It's expected that we outgrew our office of nearly 20 years, as we look forward to creating a way in which our members can join us in our efforts to bring the business community together. From a remote-work area within the building, to conference rooms adaptable for each of our members, our expectation is that this new location will serve us as much as it will serve you.  

As we refine our plans, we are hopeful that we will be settled into a new building this Fall. Until then, our regular contact information (phone and email) will keep you in direct contact with us. Our events and programming, which have morphed in response to COVID-19 restrictions, will continue virtually until we are able to gather once again. 

 
 
Thank You FORE Joining Us! 

This past Monday, we had a root-tootin' success of a Golf Tournament, themed Wild Wild West at Camas Meadows Golf Club, presented by Columbia Bank. In the last 60 days it was entirely reformatted and we were able to abide by all the Governor’s Phasing Guidelines – and still, everyone had a great time.   

Events like these are possible due to the efforts of so many. Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and partners of this year's Annual Golf Tournament: Columbia Bank, The Columbian, Legacy Health, Opti Staffing Group, iQ Credit Union, Corwin Beverage Company, HAPO Community Credit Union, ilani, Touchmark at Fairway Village, NW Accounting Professionals, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Chick-fil-A Cascade Park, Partners In Careers, International Graphics & Nameplates, Main Event Sports Grill, Northwest Personal Training, McCord's Vancouver Toyota, Opsahl Dawson, Lifetime Exteriors, Stretchzone, Your Party Center, Lemonade Day Greater Vancouver, iHeart Radio, Employers Overload Vancouver, Perkins & Co, Pickens Family Dentistry, Avec, Barlow’s Public House, Battle Ground Cinema, Chandelier Bakery, Finishing Touch LLC, Garside Florist, Pacific Perks Coffee & Catering, WellHaven Pet Health, and our course host, Camas Meadows Golf Club. 

Finally, the staff at the GVCC who kept the Annual Tournament a priority for our members, even during the Stay Home & Stay Healthy mandates. Next time you have a chance let Janet, Amy, Sarah and Hadley know how much you appreciate their efforts. I’m proud to work with some talented folks here at the Chamber.
