The Bend Chamber had another successful year of convening and connecting, developing our community’s business leaders, advocating for employers and for infrastructure, funding and ideas that support our community. We had an outstanding year of raising awareness and advocating for more attainable housing and more childcare to support our working families. We celebrated the Chamber’s efforts to support a housing project where Bend employees became first-time homeowners, and we are actively seeking out employers and builders to find more housing solutions.
In our 2023 report, you will also see what we were able to accomplish in this year’s legislative session and policies and outcomes right here in Bend. We are watching the horizon for changes in the economy and the continuing impacts of growth on Central Oregon. We are here to serve, to collaborate and to find solutions to the unique needs of our business community.
