MISSION

To provide a professional and dedicated leadership that supports our business community while promoting favorable economic growth and quality of life in Milton-Freewater.

VALUES

Educate, advocate, and communicate — with our staff and a 12-member board of directors, we support our members through economic and community development, government relations, and events.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The Milton-Freewater Chamber of Commerce ensures a thriving economy by working closely with business and community leaders to promote commerce, trade, and industry. This includes recruiting new companies, developing a welcoming environment for entrepreneurs, and helping to grow existing businesses. These efforts result in job creation and a diverse local economy.

Additionally, the Chamber nurtures small businesses by providing the resources they need to get started and keep going including research, low-cost marketing, and networking opportunities and promotion of your business to existing members.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

The Milton-Freewater Chamber of Commerce has been the voice of business and represents more than 180 businesses throughout Umatilla County.

As the collective voice of Milton-Freewater businesses in government, the chamber is committed to promoting legislation that will improve our business climate and have a positive impact on public policy that impacts our economy, job creation, and future growth.
