Why be a part of the McKenzie Chamber

Tourism Marketing: The Chamber services at the Destination Marketing Organization overseeing approx. $30,000 in tourism tax dollars.  Our Tourism committee meets monthly to create a marketing plan to support overnight stays and general tourism in the McKenzie River area.

Economic Support: The chamber can help with grand openings, business listings on our website, permanent flyers at tourist kiosks, and general support for economic vitality in our communities

Community Support:  The Chamber helps to sponsor and co-host events to enrich the community and support local businesses.

Social Support:  The Chamber members and board members gain social activities meeting others while working on projects in our community.

Valuable Community Voice:  As we have no incorporated towns along the McKenzie (once you get past Springfield) the Chamber is often seen as an important voice to the state, the county and project sponsors.  We are desperately needed.

We have a couple BIG projects coming in 2023 – Join us and don’t miss out!
