The Grants Pass & Josephine County
Chamber of Commerce is the catalyst
that enables businesses to accomplish
collectively what no one business
could do alone. A strong united
effort gives a voice to members.
Tourism, service, retail, and
manufacturing each contribute
to our business community.

“It has been tremendously helpful to be a
member of the Chamber of Commerce. I
have had by far more referrals from and
through the Chamber than any other source.
The opportunities to network and present our
product has had a major effect on our
success”
