About the Chamber

What We Do
The Chamber sponsors events throughout the year to bring the
businesses and the community together in an effort to increase the
visibility of the area and your business. The Chamber sponsors the
Montrose Food and Brewfest, the annual Oktoberfest, and co-sponsors
the annual Christmas Parade with the City of Glendale and the
Montrose Shopping Park Association. These events offer members the
opportunity to sponsor programs for local youth groups and promote
their businesses through cooperative advertising. Chamber programs
are designed to help your business become more effective in the use of
time and money.

Networking Opportunities & Referral Services
The Chamber office functions as a public relations firm and referral
service for its members. The Brochure Wall displays members’
business cards, catalogs, and promotional material for the public. Our
Mixers offer opportunities for members to showcase their place of
business. Through legislative meetings, educational sponsorships and
community forums members can make business as well as political
contacts allowing them to become part of an ongoing network where
information and ideas are exchanged.

Advertising & Business Promotion

New business members are presented a wall plaque at our Mixers and
complementary membership mailing labels. New members are also
encouraged to hold Ribbon Cuttings and Grand Openings which
are featured in the local newspapers. Other advertising opportunities
include our newsletter, Business Connection, our Business Directory
and Shoppers Guide, and the Tri-Chamber Foothills Community
Business Expo.
