Breaking Down the Barriers Sponsored By: US Bank Written by Kira Zavala On December 16th, The Chamber hosted Chamber Forum, generously sponsored by US Bank. The event was moderated by De Anne Everson from United Way and featured an engaging open discussion with prominent community organizations, including The Salvation Army, Rogue Retreat, and Youth 71Five. During the forum, representatives from each organization provided insights into their significant impacts within the community. They discussed what strategies are working, addressed common myths, and explored potential improvements in their operations. As guests arrived, each organization hosted an informational booth, answering questions and providing details on their services. The dialogue was rich with success stories from various program participants, emphasizing the crucial need for continued support in our communities. The event was well-attended, drawing over 200 business professionals who left with a deeper understanding of the vital work being done and the challenges that lie ahead for these community pillars. The Chamber extends its gratitude to US Bank for their monthly sponsorship and to CowCreek for their dedicated season-long support, both of which were instrumental in the success of this enriching community event. n
