About Us

Our Mission

Catalyst. Convener. Champion.

At The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County, living locally is more than a lifestyle — it’s our mantra.

Our mission is simple: Helping Business Succeed.

Our purpose is to inspire growth and strengthen the economy of Medford and Jackson County.

The Chamber serves as a catalyst for business growth, a convener of community and business leaders, and a champion for the region we call home.

Through promotion, creation, connection, and representation, The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County remains committed to helping our community — and every business within it — thrive.

OUR FOUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

PROMOTE.

We encourage visitors to stay, explore, and invest in Medford. Through our umbrella organization, Travel Medford, we promote the city as the Heart of the Rogue — a vibrant hub for business, culture, and adventure.

CREATE.

We collaborate with local and state agencies to build strong partnerships. By improving cooperation between government and business, we help create a positive, responsible climate for sustainable economic development.

CONNECT.

We offer valuable networking opportunities that boost member visibility, involvement, and community presence. Our team of Chamber Ambassadors represents both The Chamber and your business at ribbon cuttings, open houses, and community events. These connections help your business grow — one relationship at a time.

REPRESENT.

We stand up for business interests through strong advocacy and representation. Our Legislative Action Team (LAT), ChamberPAC, and Chamber Day at the Capitol ensure your voice is heard. With a full-time lobbyist tracking thousands of bills each legislative session, we keep you informed and engaged. Additionally, our monthly Legislative Hotline connects members directly with the Southern Oregon legislative delegation — giving your business access to decision-makers who shape our region’s future.
