Canby Area Chamber of Commerce: 2023-2024 Membership Packet

ADVOCACY

Although we have collaborative partnerships and work closely with local, State and Federal government officials, the Canby Area Chamber of Commerce is not a government entity. We are the largest private, nongovernmental business support network of its kind in Canby, Oregon.

We are a 501(c)6 non-profit membership organization that keeps its finger on the pulse of legislative issues that may impact small business whether those issues arise in Washington, D.C., our State Capitol, Clackamas County, or the City of Canby.

We serve as a public voice for the purposes of unity, transparency, open communication, and advocacy on behalf of our member businesses and for the community of Canby and the surrounding areas that need our support and to encourage thoughtful economic development as we grow our community’s future together.

We offer representation on your behalf through our Government Affairs Committee, and through our memberships with the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce (OSCC) and Oregon Business & Industries (OBI).

To keep our network extensive and dynamic, the Canby Area Chamber of Commerce partners with several of the 125 Chambers of Commerce in Oregon including Beaverton, Lake Oswego, North Clackamas, Oregon City, Salem, Tigard, Tualatin, Washington County (Hillsboro), West Linn, Wilsonville, and Molalla. We also support smaller communities nearby.

These strong community partnerships allow us to stay on top of trending policies and activities that impact us all.

As a part of the Chamber of Commerce’s private membership experience, you will join hundreds of other area business owners who have become highly visible leaders in our community. The more active you are, the more you will enjoy the benefits of being a part of this incredible network.
