VIDEO: HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING BUSINESS IN SOUTHERN OREGON
There is so much exciting momentum in our community, thanks to engaged members like you. The Chamber has several exciting opportunities and events for you to engage in, from festivals to our Leadership program! Coming up this September 19, The Chamber’s Leadership program creates a comprehensive and objective awareness of our community in action by gaining access to many unique, rare and interesting experiences. The program fosters commitment to our region and develops leaders to meet the demands of the future. Since its inception in 1983, more than 1000 people have graduated, many of which are now prominent and influential leaders in the Rogue Valley. Don’t let this incredible opportunity pass you by! The annual Excellence in Business Awards meeting and dinner is officially sold out. Please fill out the form on our website to be placed on the waitlist. We are exciting to honor Medford’s outstanding enterprises and businesspeople for the 104th year. Each year, the recipients inspire us all to aim higher and their accomplishments encourage each of us to pursue excellence in our own organizations. When our businesses collectively commit to growth and community impact, our city prospers. We will be recognizing honorees across categories like Member of the Year, Rising Star, Business Excellence (small, medium and large), and more. Let’s celebrate the achievements propelling our community forward! I’m also thrilled to share details on the second annual Heart of the Rogue Festival taking place October 13-14 in downtown Medford. This signature event celebrates the diverse small businesses, makers, growers, and artisans that make this region thrive. We’ll have live music, food vendors, artisan booths, family activities, and more for the whole community to enjoy. The Chamber is committed to strengthening our local economy and building community. We hope you will join us for these upcoming events and programs that exemplify the heart and excellence of Medford.
