Catalyst. Convener. Champion.
Serving Mason County since 1922, the Chamber is a catalyst for business growth, a convener of leaders and influencers, and a champion of our community.
Advocacy
From meeting with elected officials to lobby on behalf of business interests to hosting forums for the public to learn about those running for office, the Chamber provides access to decision makers and insight to policy.
Education
Education is two-fold within the Chamber. We partner with local schools for workforce development and programs. We offer educational opportunities and information for our business owners on a variety of different topics.
