Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce ~ www.grantspasschamber.org

Chamber of Commerce life is hard to describe because no day is the same. Our schedule changes each week! The beauty of a local Chamber of Commerce is we can and do adapt quickly. As a private non-profit that operates like a business, we know time makes a huge difference!

The Chamber is lucky to have an extremely talented staff and a great board of directors that focuses on improving our business community. All of this is due to our passion for our community and businesses. Just to give you an idea of what is happening in the Chamber of Commerce world, here is a snapshot of some of the projects that happened in June. Some may call it chaos, but we call it a typical month.

Advocacy

• Sheriff funding taskforce regarding Tax District.

• Food Truck municipal code discussion with City of Grants Pass.

• Legislative session: Oregon State Chamber legislative bill tracking and legislative calls with Representative Morgan and Representative Goodwin.
