History |

WHITEFISH COMMUNITY GUIDE

Whitefish was incorporated and held its first official Town Council meeting.

Timber, farming, ranching and the railroad were the backbone of the town’s economy – and culture – for the next 50 years. In time, summer cabins began popping-up along the shores of Whitefish Lake, and the strength of the logging industry began to wane. Modern technology (and equipment) led to a severe downsizing of the railroad’s workforce. The economy was on a downward skid, but changes were on the horizon for Whitefish. A nine-hole golf course and clubhouse were built in the 1950s, and in the early ‘60s another nine holes were added. By the mid-1990s, Whitefish Golf Course had grown to 36 holes – the largest (and best!) in the state.

Meanwhile, a few adventurous Whitefish folks had been bitten by the downhill skiing “bug” in the 1930s and ‘40s, and began hiking to the upper reaches of Hellroaring Mountain so they could ski back down an open slope into the Hellroaring Basin. In 1947, the first lift was built at what became Big Mountain Ski Area, these days known as Whitefish Mountain Resort, the cornerstone of our area’s winter tourist trade.

Whitefish is still a working railroad town.

More than 300 workers are directly employed by Burlington Northern/Santa Fe, and hundreds of families rely on the highly-skilled – and high-paying – jobs that BNSF creates. Amtrak passengers arrive twice daily at the historic Whitefish Depot, and dozens of freight trains pass through the BNSF railyards every day, en route from Chicago to Seattle and all points in between. And the farms and ranches that surround our town continue to produce enough beef, pork, fruits and vegetables to feed the Flathead – and then some!

In recent decades, tourism has risen to the top of Whitefish’s economic food chain. The Whitefish area has gained international recognition as a recreational and retirement haven – a special place to get away from the rat race, raise a family, run a business … and make a difference!

RECREATION

Y

ou know, there’s more to Whitefish, Montana than just breathtaking scenery, a great ski hill, abundant wildlife and a spectacular alpine lake. But there’s no ignoring the obvious: the #1 attraction that brings visitors to our city – the Great Outdoors – also fuels an active lifestyle for residents that is second to none.

Just minutes from downtown Whitefish lies world-renowned Glacier National Park, 1,600 square miles of the most aweinspiring mountain peaks, waterfalls, rushing streams and glaciers to be found in North America. As the shining jewel in the “Crown of the Continent” region, Glacier attracts millions of visitors from around the globe each year – folks who come to hike its 700+ miles of trails, sleep in magnificent 100-yearold log hotels, explore the crags and canyons that abound … and maybe catch a glimpse of a bighorn sheep, a herd of elk or a grizzly bear!

If Glacier is the crown, there are certainly plenty of other “natural jewels” to choose from in the Whitefish area, beginning with Whitefish Lake! The southern shore of the lake, and the ever-popular Whitefish City Beach, is just blocks from the heart of downtown Whitefish. Fed by the waters of Swift Creek, Lazy Creek and Hellroaring Creek, the lake is popular with users of all sorts: swimmers, kayakers, fishermen, water- and jet-skiers, paddle-boarders, ice fishermen, and every imaginable type of motorized – and self-propelled – boat known to mankind.

Whitefish Lake is 7 miles long, 2.5 miles wide and 222 feet deep at its deepest point. In addition to Whitefish City Beach – with it’s family-friendly (and roped-off) beach, manned lifeguard towers and picnic gazebos – the public can also access the lake at either Whitefish Lake State Park on the Lake’s west shore, or Les Mason State Park on the eastern shoreline of the Lake.

But when the hordes of visitors go home in September, Glacier In the summertime NORDIC SKIING PHOTO BY TOM ROBERTSON COURTESY OF STILLWATER MOUNTAIN LODGE becomes “our park” for it’s all about being the next nine months … a place we can go to recharge the outside, and there’s no better way to see nature than to batteries whenever we feel the need; a place to explore at our hike (or bike) on one of the area’s many trail systems.

These trails are located in forested, rural environments popular for mountain biking,

hiking, horseback riding and walking and are appropriate for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and bikers and runners of all abilities. If a casual stroll is more to your liking, try the paved Whitefish Bike & Pedestrian Trail System, which meanders around town and along the Whitefish River.

For a more heart pumping workout, head up to Whitefish Mountain Resort and hike the Danny On Trail to the summit of Big Mountain, where you’ll find breathtaking views of the Flathead Valley, eye-popping fields of colorful wildflowers, and some of the best huckleberry picking around. Those looking for a more relaxing experience can catch a scenic chairlift ride to the top of Big Mountain … but there’s plenty more for the more adventuresome to experience at the resort as well.

The Zip-Line Tour at Whitefish Mountain Resort is one of the most popular summertime activities on the hill, often requiring reservations days in advance. But the Walk in the Treetops, Alpine Slide and Aerial Adventure Park are just as popular with visitors and locals alike.

Countless adventures await those who prefer “pedal power” to hoofing it. So whether your cycling sights are set on screaming down a single track mountain trail, pushing the pedals on a long road ride, taking the family out for an afternoon of easy trail riding, or pedaling to City Beach for some R&R on a beautiful sunny day … Whitefish offers it all!

Mountain biking opportunities range from resort riding at Whitefish Mountain Resort to trail rides just outside of town at Spencer Mountain, the Whitefish Trail, Round Meadows and Tally Lake. There are trails to accommodate everyone from kids on training wheels to the most veteran off-road riders … and road cyclists have a myriad of options in the area as well.

Whitefish has been named a “Top-50 Golf Destination” by Golf Digest Magazine, and it’s no wonder! Nine championship golf courses are within a forty-five minute drive of Whitefish, and the outstanding quality and affordability of the Valley’s golf courses are well known throughout the US and Canada.

Add to that our 16 hours of summertime daylight and temperatures that average in the mid-70’s, and anytime is a good time to play a round in Whitefish.

Whitefish Lake Golf Club offers Montana’s only 36-hole golf complex; its tree-lined fairways, well-bunkered (and spacious) bent grass greens and spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery make for an excellent golfing experience for players of all ages and skill levels.

If you’re looking to get your heart pounding and adrenaline flowing, look no further than the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, where any of a half-dozen professional rafting companies will be happy to get you chest-deep in whitewater!

into Glacier National Park and the Great Bear Wilderness.

Summer and fall are “prime time” for sportsmen in the Flathead Valley, as fishing and floating picks up on both the Middle and North Forks of the Flathead River and a hundred other, smaller, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. Anglers flock to our area in search of west slope cutthroat trout, rainbows and whitefish, but they’ll occasionally pull in some hefty bull trout, a kokanee salmon or northern pike. Fall is deer and elk season in northwestern Montana, and those serious about filling their tags will find the hunting here to be both challenging and rewarding.

When winter sets-in here in Whitefish, we don’t go into hibernation … we catch our second wind! Winter sports abound here in the shadow of Whitefish Mountain Resort, where more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain, 105 runs and 14 lifts constantly beckon to powder hounds and beginners alike. The lift lines are short, the people friendly, the snow plentiful, and – best of all – lift ticket prices are among the most affordable of any major US ski resort.

Off the hill, things are just as busy. Whitefish is a wintertime mecca for snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, skijoring, sleigh riding, ice skating … and cross-country skiing.

know-how – to make sure your day on the trails is safe and enjoyable. And if you’re looking for a mode of transportation with a little more “horse” and a lot less power, consider a trip to the Bar W Guest Ranch or the Cripple Creek Horse Ranch for a horse-drawn sleigh ride and dinner.

For more information on recreation and attractions in the Whitefish area, visit: www.whitefishchamber.org.

A wide array of groomed nordic skiing trails are available throughout the Whitefish area. Tours in Glacier National Park take you through breathtaking scenery, and the Whitefish Lake Golf Club magically transforms into the Glacier Nordic Center in winter – a 15-kilometer Nordic touring center that is tracked and groomed for skating and classic skiing, with five kilometers of lighted trails for night skiing.

Another magnet of wintertime activity is the Stumptown Ice Den, an Olympic-style rink in the heart of Whitefish that is popular with figure skaters, hockey players, curling enthusiasts and recreational skaters throughout northwestern Montana. The “Den” is open from August until April, and hosts skating lessons and performances, hockey leagues, tournaments, and daily open skating for the public.

Northwest Montana offers some of the most incredible snowmobiling terrain to be found anywhere, and a trio of local businesses have the equipment – and 2015 - Whitefish Chamber of Commerce Community Guide & Member Directory 13

magine what it would be like to live in a place that most people feel lucky to visit once in a lifetime. The fact of the matter is … that’s what it’s like to live in Whitefish! We don’t have to take a vacation to visit Glacier National Park, to grab some “first tracks” at one of America’s top ski resorts, to catch a Broadway play, or to experience the excitement of a small-town rodeo. All that and more is part of our day-today life in Whitefish.

It’s been said that our community is an island of culture, surrounded by an ocean of mountain recreation. And whether you’re looking for that perfect piece of mountaininspired art, you want to be “wowed” by a Broadway-caliber show, or you’re ready to enjoy some Rocky Mountain bluegrass … you’re bound to find what you’re looking for in Whitefish!

The Whitefish Theatre Company and the Alpine Theatre Project present world-class theatre, drama, comedy and music, showcasing seasoned professionals with major league credits – many of them direct from Broadway! And they do it in two state-of-the-art downtown theaters – the O’Shaughnessy Center and the Whitefish Performing Arts.

The streets of downtown Whitefish are peppered with galleries, retail shops and exhibits for the art lover. Many of our restaurants feature exhibits by local artists, and while Big Sky scenery and wildlife is a popular subject of local artists, there’s definitely something for everyone in Whitefish – from pottery to metalwork, from western to modern.

Whitefish Gallery Nights takes place on the first Thursday of each month from May to October, with participating galleries & shops featuring the works of guest artists … and offering free food and drink to arts aficionados.

The non-profit Stumptown Art Studio, located in the heart of downtown Whitefish on Central Avenue, is also the “heart” of the local arts scene. The studio offers art classes, camps and workshops for people of all ages; they help organize the monthly “Gallery Nights” events; they provide gallery space for local artists; and they provide art & outreach programs to Whitefish schools and “special needs” organizations serving our area’s veterans, senior citizens and troubled youth. Best of all … you can walk-in anytime to fuse glass, create pottery or create a Montana-made mosaic!

WHITEFISH COMMUNITY GUIDE

| Arts & Entertainment

The Flathead Valley is home to a number of wonderful museums, including the Stumptown Historical Society Museum in the historic Whitefish Train Depot.

Just 10 miles south of town, the city of Kalispell is host to the renowned Hockaday Art Museum, the historic Conrad Mansion and numerous fine art galleries.

The Glacier Symphony Orchestra performs classical, holiday, and pops concerts each season, accompanied by world-class (and emerging) guest artists. The Glacier Chorale is a 75-voice symphonic choir, and together the two have brought the world’s greatest music to the Flathead since 1981 – including the acclaimed Festival Amadeus, which kicks-off in early August.

Live music abounds in Whitefish. From the “open mic” nights at our watering holes to the best “world music” at the O’Shaughnessy Center to the top-notch rock, country, jazz and jam-bands that help keep the blood flowing in January … there’s never a shortage of talented live entertainment in Whitefish!

t’s been said that no one throws a party like Whitefish, and for good reason. The natural beauty of the area, its colorful history and cultural amenities make it the perfect place to hold special events, fairs and festivals that are uniquely Whitefish.

Most every weekend throughout the summer – and frequently throughout the year – you can find an art show, a music festival, an athletic competition or street fair in Whitefish.

Through the years, several of Whitefish’s “signature” events have grown to nearlegendary proportions, most notably the “granddaddy of ‘em all,” Winter Carnival.

Held the first weekend in February for the last five decades, Whitefish

Events include a kick-off party with the NFL stars; a snowmobile poker run; a gala dinner and live auction; and a host of kid- and family-oriented activities.

The summer event season in Whitefish kicks-off in mid-June with the 4th Annual Whitefish Woody Weekend, a three-day celebration of classic American wooden boats hosted by The Lodge at Whitefish Lake.

Dozens of vintage hardwood cruisers will be on display at the Lodge Marina; a boat parade around Whitefish Lake is

The only public fireworks display between Flathead Lake and the Canadian border goes off at dusk over Whitefish Lake on the Fourth of July, which in northwestern Montana means 10:30 p.m. or so! Crowds gather at Whitefish City Beach, at the new Great Northern Veterans Peace Park – and on the water – to watch the show ... so grab a spot early!

Held the first weekend in July in Whitefish Depot Park, the three-day Whitefish Arts Festival features the work of more than 100 regional artists and craftsmen, as well as a variety of food vendors and entertainment.

One of the highlights of summer in the Whitefish area is picking wild huckleberries … and another is the Huckleberry Days Arts Festival: three full days of small-town events, and one big-time arts & crafts show!

More than 125 local and regional vendors strut their stuff in Depot Park for three days in mid-August, it also features a climbing wall for the kids and the Chamber’s Huckleberry Dessert Bake-Off!

Also in September, back by popular demand are the Whitefish Summer Games. The Summer Games features scores of different athletic – and not-so-athletic – competitions and tournaments, from soccer, softball and basketball to darts, poker and Worm Racing. No, really!

For two weekends in late September and early October, Whitefish is transformed to “Munich in the Mountains,” hosting the largest – and most authentic – Oktoberfest in the Pacific Northwest. Authentic Bavarian food, beer, music, dancing and more,

We all know that Whitefish’s downtown clubs go all-out every night … but on Halloween, watch out! Central Avenue turns into Ghoul Central early on Halloween night, and by 10 p.m. there are hundreds of costumed characters roaming the entertainment district.

The Christmas Stroll brings our community together to kick-off the Holiday Season in style for a little holiday shopping, and a lot of caroling, bonfires, tree-lighting ceremony, chestnuts roasting, sleigh riding, and – of course – visiting with Santa!

Whitefish Mountain Resort will help ring-in 2016 with their annual Torchlight Parade and Fireworks extravaganza, held New Year’s Eve at the ski area.

REAL ESTATE

PHOTO COURTESY OF BILL MILNER

M

ontana is one of the most desired places in the country to live, work, raise a family and retire. And Whitefish is one of the top real estate markets in Montana … for good reason.

From spectacular waterfront properties on Whitefish Lake to slope-side lodges and condos at Whitefish Mountain Resort; from sprawling Montana ranches to quaint older homes in the historic downtown district; from mountaintop retreats to cabins in the woods … the Whitefish real estate market has something to fit your taste, your lifestyle and your budget.

Northwest Montana is also emerging as one of the most popular places for active retirees. In fact, in 2012 the Flathead Valley was recognized by Where To Retire magazine as an “ideal” location for retirement thanks to its natural mountain/lake settings, outdoor recreational opportunities, excellent

medical services, commercial air service and vast cultural opportunities.

For more information on the Whitefish and Flathead Valley real estate markets, please call one of the many talented, professional and friendly real estate agents listed on Page 46.

In 2014 the local real estate market continued to gain strength, posting its best numbers in years, a sure sign that the real estate “bubble” that plagued much of the country – including Montana – is finally over.

Still, prices for all types of commercial and residential property are as competitive as they’ve been in recent memory, and there are a wide variety of options available to folks interested in relocating their family (and/or their business) to the Whitefish area.

New building permits are also on the rise in Whitefish, as approved projects that “stalled” during the recession years are beginning to find new life, and newly-approved residential developments prepare to break ground this spring.

EDUCATION

PHOTO COURTESY OF FLATHEAD VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

O

ne reason that growing families choose to live in the Whitefish area is the quality educational experience that our local schools offer, from preschool all the way through college.

Perennially ranked among the top school districts in all of Montana, the Whitefish School District serves more than 1,500 students enrolled at four centrally located facilities: Muldown Elementary School (K4), Whitefish Middle School (5-8), Whitefish High School (9-12), and Whitefish Independent High School, which provides a non-traditional setting for grades 10-12.

Whitefish Christian Academy educates children in Pre-K through the 8th grade. A classical Christian school, WCA achieves academic excellence in a fun, safe environment.

Whitefish students are expected to complete a rigorous academic program from kindergarten through grade 12.

Major emphasis at the elementary level focuses on strong reading, language and math skills; the middle and high school programs add to that strong foundation a variety of fine arts programs, along with advanced placement classes in English, Government, Science and Math.

The district’s Virtual High School (VHS) program is open to students beginning in the 8th grade, offering more than 300 courses to those interested in challenging themselves them with a diverse curriculum taught online by nationally known instructors.

High school students also have the option of attending Flathead Valley

Community College while still at WHS through the Running Start program.

Running Start gives eligible high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to get a start on their college career by earning dual credit simultaneously at WHS and FVCC. One advantage of small town life is that parents have plenty of opportunities to help improve the quality of their kids’ education, and that’s particularly true in Whitefish. The Bulldog Boosters and Parent Teacher Association are two of the strongest service organizations in town, and play an active and important role in assuring that Whitefish kids get the best possible education.

The residents of Whitefish stand strong behind their schools, recently approving a $20 million school bond to fund construction of the new Whitefish High School, which opened its doors to students for the first time last Fall. Our local schools and students are also supported by the Whitefish School District Education Foundation, a community based nonprofit organization established to maintain and enhance the educational

opportunities, programs and standards of the Whitefish School District.

Established in 1967, Flathead Valley Community College is Montana’s largest two-year public college. The main campus in Kalispell is just a 15-minute drive south of Whitefish, and offers top-quality academic programs taught by some of the nation’s brightest faculty.

FVCC’s state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies provide students with an outstanding foundation for their first two years of college, preparing them for a successful and seamless transfer to colleges and universities in Montana and beyond.

FVCC offers Associate of Applied Science degrees and certificates in more than 50 career and technical fields, preparing students to launch rewarding careers immediately following graduation. And the college works closely with local workforce and economic development agencies to offer training programs to meet the specific needs of 21st century employers … from construction skills to healthcare, and computer software to firefighter training.

HEALTHCARE

W

hitefish residents and visitors enjoy a wide variety of top-quality options when it comes to caring for the health of themselves, their families and employees.

The Flathead Valley boasts two modern medical campuses, both of which provide excellent patient care, utilize state-of-the-art medical technology, and do it all in a comfortable setting … with outstanding food! And with 2.5 physicians for every 1,000 residents, Flathead County is ranked 3rd in the state for its physician-to-patient ratio.

North Valley Hospital first opened its doors in Whitefish in 1905, and the hospital has provided cutting-edge technology and top-quality healthcare to Northwest Montana ever since.

From top-to-bottom, the staff at North Valley Hospital – from physicians, surgeons, nurses, technicians and support staff all the way up to the CEO – are committed to providing superior patient care … and they’re doing it!

The hospital’s Imaging Department is equipped with digital mammography, CAT Scan, MRI, Ultrasound and X-Ray; the surgical suites are fully equipped for general, gynecological, breast, 32 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

urological, orthopedic, cosmetic, reconstructive and endoscopic surgeries; and North Valley Hospital’s Birth Center is the only facility in the Northern Rockies that offers a water birth option – a safe, effective method of reducing pain during labor that’s more relaxing for mom and newborn.

North Valley Hospital has 25 inpatient beds and a full Emergency Care Department, and the NVH “family” has grown to 43 active physicians, 67 courtesy/consulting physicians, and 30 Allied Health Professionals.

“...with 2.5 physicians for every 1000 residents, Flathead County is ranked 3rd in the state for its physician-to-patient ratio.”

In addition to the hospital/medical office complex in town, North Valley operates a pair of seasonal “urgent care clinics” to serve the needs of our active population – the Base Lodge Clinic at Whitefish Mountain Resort (December thru April), and West Glacier Clinic

(Memorial Day thru Labor Day). North Valley Hospital is a 501(c)(3) not-forprofit community-based critical access hospital, and adheres to the Planetree patient-centered care philosophy.

Kalispell Regional Medical Center (KRMC) has been a center of health care excellence in the Flathead Valley for more than 100 years. KRMC is both a community hospital and a regional referral center, offering the area’s most advanced health services and medical technology.

A comprehensive inventory of sophisticated diagnostics and treatment techniques is matched by equally specialized, highly-skilled professionals whose experience is respected throughout the area and the nation. But beyond medicine and technology, caregivers at KRMC touch the lives of patients and their families while patients are hospitalized, as well as after they go home.

KRMC is the flagship hospital of Kalispell Regional Healthcare, the most comprehensive collection of health care services in Northwest Montana and the largest private employer in Flathead County. In addition to

WHITEFISH COMMUNITY GUIDE

KRMC, other members of the Kalispell Regional Healthcare family include Brendan House, The Summit Medical Fitness Center, The HealthCenter, and many other medical services and physician offices.

Kalispell Regional Healthcare’s Advanced Life-support and Emergency Rescue Team (ALERT) provides our community with the ability to respond to a diverse range of emergency medical situations.

Utilizing a Bell 407 helicopter with pilot, nurse, and medic, ALERT has a 350-mile range, and handles approximately 345 emergency transports per year. With more than 15,000 flights under its belt, the program serves the state of Montana from Cut Bank to Libby and Eureka to Ronan. ALERT is one of the few hospital-operated emergency air transports in the country. From search and rescue missions to emergency retrievals in remote areas, ALERT is committed to serving the community and its visitors.

stable, well educated workforce, an ideal location, cuttingedge internet connectivity and an unsurpassed quality of life combine to make Whitefish the ideal spot for business success – both now and in the future!

Add to that our business-friendly city government, a new wave of major private and public investment, and a number of Chamber initiatives designed to strengthen and diversify the local economy, and we think you’ll agree ... Whitefish, Montana is where your business ought to be!

In the downtown core, a number of major projects came to fruition in 2014, and others will be moving full-speed ahead in 2015. The Great Northern Brewery completed a major expansion last year, doubling their brewing capacity in order to meet growing demand in Whitefish and statewide.

Just around the block, the Stumptown Marketplace opened its doors, bringing a handful of unique new shops and vendors to downtown Whitefish. A major new retail development is currently taking shape at the corner of 2nd Street and Baker, and across the street, city officials are planning the demolition of our current City Hall, to be replaced with a $12 million city 34 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

facility and three-level public parking structure.

Elsewhere around town, 2014 saw completion of a new, 40-room expansion to The Lodge at Whitefish Lake, and Don K Motors nearly doubled in size, adding two new showrooms, additional service facilities and display space for hundreds of new vehicles to its complex on Highway 93 S. A new Hampton Inn has been approved for development on U.S. 93, and another $4 million in renovations are slated at the Mountain Mall, complementing the major facelift and upgrades made by the Sportsman Ski Haus in 2014.

The Chamber’s Whitefish 2020 Plan focuses on three separate-but-equal strategies for enhancing the Whitefish economy:

• • •

Helping existing businesses get the help they need to survive, grow and thrive; Attracting new companies to Whitefish that will complement the existing business community; and Identifying and implementing programs, projects and events that enhance the Whitefish visitor experience, and help to grow tourism in the shoulder and winter seasons.

In addition, the Chamber promotes our community on a local, regional,

statewide and global basis, in an effort to: • •

• •

Attract new business and investment to Whitefish; Create new, high-paying jobs through business relocation, new business start-ups and the expansion of existing companies; Promote the Whitefish area’s assets to prospective employers, investors and residents; and Improve our community by encouraging planned economic development, strong civic leadership, better education and increased cultural and recreational opportunities.

At its annual Retreat & Planning Conference held in November, the Board restated its commitment to working collaboratively with a host of different groups and agencies who share common interests and constituents, including: the Whitefish City Council, Montana West Economic Development, Whitefish Convention & Visitors Bureau, Flathead County Economic Development Authority, Big Mountain Commercial Association, Whitefish Winter Carnival, Glacier Park International Airport, six other Chambers of Commerce and the Flathead County Commission ... just to name a few.

brings in local experts to talk about issues of interest to local business owners in a comfortable format. Topics range from tax code changes and HR compliance to Facebook marketing and “Networking 101” … and everything in between.

• Membership Luncheons & Awards Banquet – Informational luncheons are held throughout the year on topics of interest to the business community, and the Chamber hosts the town’s annual community awards ceremony each spring, recognizing the outstanding contributions made to Whitefish by local individuals and business owners.

Getting involved …

The Whitefish Chamber of Commerce is about one thing – your business. And that’s why your active participation in the Chamber is so crucial. We’re committed to focusing on your needs, but we rely on our members’ input and leadership in the process to assure that we’re serving you – and our community – as best we can.

The Chamber’s annual work program is planned and executed with the assistance of scores of dedicated board, committee and task force members, all of whom put their unique perspective, experience and enthusiasm into projects that benefit our member businesses and the community at large.

Committee membership is open to any active Chamber member who is ready, willing and able to make a difference.

Board of Directors – Elected by the Chamber membership, this 12-member group meets monthly to oversee Chamber operations and establish policy. The Board is responsible for developing, approving and implementing the organization’s annual Program of Work and Budget.

Government Affairs Committee – The GAC is an advisory committee to the Board of Directors. Its primary responsibilities are to monitor governmental matters that could impact the community or local businesses, to present recommendations to the Chamber Board for approval, and to initiate appropriate action. The

| Chamber of Commerce

GAC also drafts state and federal legislative agendas and initiatives for consideration by the Chamber Board.

In 2014, the GAC worked closely with Whitefish Police Chief Bill Dial to draft a business-friendly False Alarm Ordinance that was unanimously approved by the City Council; it successfully lobbied the Council to support renovations to the Mountain Mall with a $200,000 grant; and it hosted a series of Neighborhood Business Meetings attended by scores of interested Whitefish business owners and managers.

Priorities for the Government Affairs Committee in 2015 include exploring possible solutions to the city’s affordable/workforce housing shortage, participating in city-initiated

“corridor studies” for the Hwy 93 South and Wisconsin Avenue business districts; monitoring the progress of the new City Hall/parking structure project; and encouraging the wise investment of TIF funds in economic development projects throughout the city.

Member Services Committee – The MSC advises the Board of Directors on programs, projects and activities that directly affect (and benefit) the Chamber’s 450 member businesses.

The Committee meets each month to assist in the planning of our monthly Gone Fishin’ networking events, the quarterly Lunch-n-Learn seminars, Chamber luncheons and the Annual Banquet, as well as the Summer and Winter Tourism Expos.

Chamber of Commerce | The MSC is responsible for overseeing the Ambassadors Program, for planning and implementing Membership Drives, and for developing new programs and projects that will benefit Chamber members … including programs designed specifically to meet the needs of high tech businesses and the next generation of young business owners/ managers.

Special Events Committees – One great way to get both involved and connected is to serve on an event committee … or to work a volunteer shift or two at one of our popular special events. The Taste of Whitefish and the Great Northwest Oktoberfest each have committees that

WHITEFISH COMMUNITY GUIDE

meet for months in advance to help plan, promote and organize the event, and Oktoberfest alone requires help from more than 150 volunteers.

Volunteers are also needed to help with the annual Christmas Stroll each December, and – to a lesser extent – with the Huckleberry Day Arts Festival and the Fourth of July Fireworks display at City Beach every summer.

Economic Development Task Forces – The Chamber’s economic development efforts are spearheaded by the Chamber’s Trustee Council (see articles on Pages 34 and 38), but input from all Chamber members is needed to help

identify and address issues and/or problems of major significance.

A 2013 Chamber Task Force on improving commercial air service to our region led to the formation of Glacier AERO, a group that now contracts with major airlines to bring additional direct flights – serving new destinations – to the Flathead Valley. Other task forces have been created in recent months to deal with summer transportation, high tech job growth, capitalizing on the Canadian market, and – most recently – affordable workforce housing.

Chamber Trustees invest time & resources in the future of the Whitefish economy The Whitefish Chamber’s Trustee Program brings together the area’s top business and civic leaders in an effort to develop a shared vision for the future of Whitefish, and to prepare our community for the 21st Century.

The Trustees spearhead the Chamber’s governmental affairs and economic development efforts, tackling the “big picture” issues that affect today’s business environment.

They focus their concern, expertise and resources on addressing issues which confront our community, region and state, to ensure a solid future for free enterprise and our citizens.

Their commitment to Whitefish – and to the Chamber – is the foundation for our continued prosperity.

Trustees oversee implementation of the Chamber’s Whitefish 2020 Plan. First adopted in 2010, the plan serves as the Chamber’s economic development blueprint for the next 3-5 years, identifying programs, projects and initiatives that will improve – and diversify – our town’s economy.

The Chamber’s Trustees have been the driving force behind a number of major economic development efforts, including the formation 38 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

of Glacier AERO, a new non-profit organization dedicated to expanding commercial air service to the Flathead Valley. AERO raised nearly $250,000 in 2014 – its first full year of operation – and contracted with United Airlines to add direct wintertime service between Glacier Park International Airport and Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.

The organization will continue to work closely with airport and airline officials to capitalize on opportunities to expand and enhance air service to our area.
