Eggs 'N Issues Legislative Wrap-Up
Wednesday, August 3, 2011
What's new, what's not after the 2011 legislative session?
With the conclusion of the 2011 Legislative session we know there were many successes and yet many areas where the business community would have preferred different outcomes. Are there areas where our legislators could have done more or different? How can we, as the business community, let our elected leaders know what's important to us to help build a strong local economy and sense of community.

From the Chair
Gregory A. Chaimov, Attorney at Law
Our goal is to grow: to make the Chamber bigger and stronger, to better help members succeed
 Thank you for the honor of leading the Chamber through this time of transition, with Susan Lehr taking the helm and Wilda Parks freed to work her magic throughout North Clackamas. Our goal is to grow: to make the Chamber bigger and stronger, to better help members succeed. We have three plans to achieve that goal.
President's Message
Susan Lehr, President/CEO
Chamber Works!
Sixteen years ago I relocated to the Northwest working with North Clackamas Chamber member Rose Villa. I knew to get-up-to-speed, that the Chamber of Commerce was the avenue. At first, it was to market the business for whom I worked. Then President of the Chamber Board John Blanton, invited me to my first AM Business Connection where I began to get acquainted. I soon realized the Chamber had the potential to do so much more for me and my employer.
