Where do I even begin? I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce and the incredible community of people who make it what it is. Scott Parker, hands down, is one of the biggest reasons I became a consistent Chamber member again. His kindness, humor, genuine care for people, and passion for bringing our community together are something special. But what makes this Chamber so incredible is the PEOPLE. From our early Friday morning Greeters meetings to the networking, friendships, referrals, and genuine relationships we've built, there is something really special here. I love knowing I can walk into the Chamber with a question, ask for a recommendation, or simply connect with someone who genuinely wants to help. We support each other's businesses, share referrals, celebrate each other's successes, and build relationships that extend far beyond business. I also love the diversity of our Chamber. Young entrepreneurs, seasoned business owners, brand-new businesses, and those who have served our community for decades. Everyone brings something valuable to the table. Being part of this Chamber has helped me grow my business in so many ways, but even more importantly, it has connected me with some truly wonderful people. Lastly I cannot forget to mention their incredible two-year Leadership Chehalem Valley program. An experience I cannot recommend highly enough for anyone looking to grow personally, professionally, and within our community. This is so much more than networking. It's friendship, connection, collaboration, and a community that genuinely wants to see one another succeed. If you've been thinking about getting involved, swing by a Friday morning Greeters meeting. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Scott, the Chamber team, and every single member who makes this community so special. I am so very grateful to be part of it.

Keizer Community Foundation is so helpful!!
I am the school office specialist at Forest Ridge/OLE charter school. The wonderful people here have helped our school with our Kloset since around 2018. I appreciate all of them! A few times a year they bring lots of snacks to our school. Some of our students aren't able to bring a snack from home and they are very grateful we have snacks for them. When we need other things, I just send a text, and they are always very willing to help. We have needed pullups, leggings, sweatpants, underwear, etc. Whenever we have a need they are always there for us! Thank you Keizer Community Foundation!!

On 1/26/26 SFD responded to my husband's 911 call. I was in respiratory distress due to pneumonia, Influenza A, and severe Sepsis infections. These men SAVED MY LIFE. THANK YOU! Without brave men like you, I would not be here, so very thankful for you and my future 💜

I Love The Woodburn Chamber
I have been an active chamber participant for over a year. The engagement and care John Zobrist and his team being to members is amazing. He encourages interaction between city businesses and promotes cooperation across businesses and government. If you are even close to Woodburn as a resident or business, you need to know about and support this organization. It truly creates the heart beat of this community.

Travis is great!
Travis is the best driving instructor I know. I would always make sure to take classes with him over others and the same goes for my drives. Travis is great with students, making sure to help guide them during challenging new ventures rather than just telling them what to do. His examples are clearly spoken rather than just stated, and they’re easy to understand. Any parent should be choosing Travis over others!

Marketing 101 Part 1
Mike, Tim, and Jeremy know the marketing world through & through. I'm very pleased with what was presented in today's Part 1 and am looking forward to the other 3 sessions. This is a huge opportunity to learn from local marketing leaders that I simply could pass up on. I'm very grateful to the Keizer Chamber for putting this together ! Thank you all!

During the 2020 fire it became evident that OSFM is her for us. Not themselves. They are no longer a self.serving entity. They are committed to the service of public safety. I love it.

So. Much. Fun!!
This was such a fun and well thought out activity. My daughter and I did this together and it was such a great adventure! It was exciting to see where we go next and what we would find at that location. We did the Keizer and downtown Salem scavenger hunts and both were great. We met some awesome business owners that are obviously passionate about what they do and will definitely be going back to a few of them. Thank you for all the work that went into setting this up!
