"As a charter member, we recognized a long time ago the importance of the chamber to Beaverton's success. It's an organization devoted to building a better Beaverton, which in turn creates a healthier place for our business, customers and employees. We're proud to support the Beaverton Chamber today -- just as we have for more than 50 years."

"The Chamber provides regular communication and input into the City decision-making processes - and we value that opinion and partnership."
Rob Drake
Mayor of the City of Beaverton
"I joined the Chamber to grow my business and to improve the way I run it. That's what the Chamber has given me by networking with other Chamber members who are experts in other fields than the one I am in and are willing to share with me their expertise, even without charging. Also, as a volunteer staff member, I am impressed with the way the staff is always looking out for the member's interest. I am glad they've got my "back."

"In the year I've been a Beaverton Chamber member I've really enjoyed establishing new friendships with fellow chamber members. Membership goes far beyond the walls of each event from Yoga classes on Saturday mornings to wine and cheese and great times.
BACC has the best group of members around Washington County--no question about it! Open, friendly people who obviously love what they do and know how to share that enthusiasm with everyone. And, members support other member's businesses--they walk the talk! It IS different here and that's why I've chosen to be a part of BACC."
