Member Benefits

Our members are our partners! A Chamber membership is an investment in and a partnership with a local business community of 300+ members. We strive to implement programs to help businesses remain informed and successful while advancing the economic well-being of our community. While these pursuits are ever-evolving, below are a few examples of some of the advantages of a Wallowa County Chamber membership.

Directory Listing – Each member receives a business directory listing on our website. We make sure that our members are top of mind in the local community and for visitors.

Marketing The Chamber provides you with near-endless marketing opportunities to make your business more visible and successful. Our ever-evolving marketing partnerships include social media, digital, print, and more.

Business Referrals – On a daily basis, the Chamber receives requests via phone, email, social media, web request form, etc. for recommendations on goods and services in our area. We refer these newcomers, tourists, residents and businesses to Chamber Members.
