Why The Collective Approach?
For over 30 years this chamber was called the Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce, but with the change of our surrounding communities we discovered a new strategy. Much research within our community recommended a broader approach and that working together as businesses in surrounding communities would make for a more beneficial experience for businesses and consumers alike. As a chamber of 125 there is only so much benefit we could provide to businesses, but increasing our area of focus to Sumner, Buckley, Enumclaw, Lake Tapps, Lakeland Hills, Tehaleh and Orting we could be a chamber of 200 to 250 by 2018. What this will do is increase the longevity of businesses, create a powerful marketing potential for increased referrals and allow the resident looking for a community beneficial business to find what they came for. Together we are stronger.
How Does It Work?
Every community has a unique chamber led by Community Ambassadors. These Ambassadors lead the event planning for the community they represent and have their pulse on the city business needs they serve. Each Ambassador committee has a role within the Chamber Collective Board. What this does behind the scenes is save each community the need to finance their own systems, board, and executive director saving thousands which goes right back into creating the best business climate for their city.
