Board of Directors Welcome to the 2017 edition of Eugene Life: Community Profile and Business Directory. Whether you are a resident, visitor, business owner or thinking about a move to Eugene, I know you won't be disappointed. Many residents come for education or jobs but stay for the quality of life. Eugene has eclectic neighborhoods, easy access to the outdoors, a hopping local brewing scene, intellectual clusters, competitive collegiate athletics, and a vast range of arts and entertainment offerings. For businesses, the city offers outstanding talent, direct access to resources, and everything you need to create, grow and expand your enterprise. Becoming such a desirable destination does not happen by accident. The Chamber is devoted to being the ultimate business resource for our members. Through networking, promotion, or advocacy, we are committed to helping businesses thrive in Eugene and our region. The Chamber provides a means for you to enhance your business and interact with the community. The unique opportunities the Chamber provides include signature events such as the Business-to-Business EXPO, Celebration of Business, and Economic Forecast as well as various networking events and affinity groups like Young Professionals Network and Women Business Leaders, in addition to government and economic action groups like the Economic Development Council and the Local Government Affairs Council. I hope you leverage this directory of local businesses when searching for products and services and choose to support the great companies listed here – companies that not only chose to make Eugene their home but also support their community with jobs, goods, services and tax revenues supporting infrastructure investment and the city services needed to ensure a top notch quality of life. Sincerely, Dave Hauser, CCE President & CEO Eugene Chamber of Commerce
