At The Chamber of Medford/Jackson County, our priority is to create a stronger local economy. Over 1,500 small and large businesses collectively work together to achieve this goal by promoting the community, providing networking opportunities and representing business issues through lobbying and political action. The Chamber is the number one business resource citizens look to in the community. The area's economic well-being benefits from the work performed by The Chamber - to have a major impact on business, income and future growth of the Medford/Jackson County area. Creating a Strong Economy Our regional economy is too important to throw in the towel when we feel limited by the lack of resources. We work to help local businesses grow by taking the lead in programs and efforts that create a strong local economy and make our community a great place to do business. We regularly work to improve our ability to advocate for our member business interests by forming alliances with other regional Chambers and statewide business associations to strengthen that voice. We are one of the very few Chambers in the State of Oregon that employs the services of a year-round, full-time lobbyist. When we say our purpose is “Helping Business Succeed” we take that statement seriously. Our members don’t have the time to track 4,000-6,000 bills over the course of a session….our team does that work for them. Our Legislative Action Team is a 30 member committee made up of a cross-section of Chamber members…small, large, retail, manufacturing, tourism, etc., all in an effort to bring in to The Chamber’s advocacy work the ground level business perspective on issues important to your survival. The Chamber of Medford/Jackson County hosts a variety of events. Each of which are designed to help build a strong economy, provide networking opportunities, represent business issues, and promote our community. With such a large variety of events, there is bound to be something for everyone!
