Networking:

Our activities are designed to connect you with potential clients and customers. Chamber members typically meet Friday mornings, with some Networking events taking place in the evening. We meet at a different member business each week, bringing together an average of 50 business leaders each week, making it one of the largest networking groups in the metro area! In addition, there are a host of Chamber events, committees and task forces throughout the year that offer members a chance to make new contacts and friends, positioning their business to be the first choice for a customer’s needs.

Advertising Opportunities:

Members can promote their business through a variety of means:

• Business Directory: The Chamber’s Business Directory is Lake Oswego’s most sought after resource for business information, printing 10,000+ copies per year with information duplicated on two websites for increased visibility.
• Community Map: One side of this full color glossy map features the Lake Oswego city limits, highlighting street names and points of interest. The other side places Lake Oswego within the context of the metro region. Borders of the maps include business advertising, a calendar of events plus pictures and copy about Lake Oswego. Advertising opportunities on the map tend to sell out quickly – be sure to send a note about your interest as soon as possible to liz@lake-oswego.com.
• Sponsorships: Sponsorships are available for all Chamber events and programs, providing an excellent way to link your business to a positive event or program that is highly regarded by the Lake Oswego community.

Business Advocacy

The Chamber advocates for businesses at City Hall, before the County Commissioners, Metro, state legislators and your congressional delegation. We actively support businesses looking to relocate to Lake Oswego and help existing businesses that are seeking information or solutions to issues affecting their business.
