Letter from the President & CEO
The Chamber is continuously looking toward the future and our organization strives to take advantage of a strong local and national economy. A piece of that positioning has included a strategic planning process focused on expanding the value we provide to members, as well as enhancing the process of identifying and acting on current and future issues which affect all businesses in the Treasure Valley.
Central to these goals are the partnerships we facilitate and nurture. Partnerships which encourage the collaboration of business, educators and elected officials to build a common vision of what our valley will become in the next decade. This is accomplished by developing partnerships that are results-oriented and which foster regional growth and cooperation. As your Chamber, we make each year a year of innovative growth and development.
Thank you for your support of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Boise Metro Economic Development Council. Without our members support, our mission of advocacy, economic development and membership services would not be possible.
Nancy Vannorsdel, President & CEO
