Your
success is our mission.
Our
Mission. The mission of the Woodburn Area Chamber of Commerce
is to promote and advance the economic and civic interests of Woodburn
and the surrounding area.
The
Chamber accomplishes this mission by providing member services,
encouraging economic development and by involvement in the many aspects
of community promotion. These three categories translate into six major
"core benefits." They are Referrals, Publicity, Government
Affairs, Credibility, Discounts and Benefits, and Community Improvement.
No matter what your level of involvement, Chamber membership will always
provide the six benefits.
In
order to implement goals and objectives, your Chamber becomes
a "front door" to the community and a "window" to
the northern Willamette Valley, providing referrals, referrals, referrals.
The first contact that tourists, prospective clients and new businesses
have with our community is often the Chamber office. Our website, telephone,
visitor's center and staff provide the first impression of Woodburn
to these potential customers. Your participation keeps this "front
door" of our community open and accessible.
Your
Chamber addresses issues that affect your bottom line. We represent
and advocate for our members on a variety of issues, including city
planning, zoning and other ordinances, to ensure that your business
interests are protected. We are there to represent you!
Your
Chamber markets your business. People deal with people they
know. And the Chamber provides venues like a monthly newsletter, forums,
social events, and publications like this directory to create opportunities
for you to network with other businesses. Get the competitive advantage
of membership in the Woodburn Area Chamber of Commerce: increased sales;
lower overhead; networking opportunities; business promotion; and support
for your business.
