We would like to thank the
Missoula Chamber staff for their great work. Our
business has grown because of our involvement as a
member of the Chamber. You have done an outstanding
job creating opportunities for your members as well
as valuable information through the website,
committees and staff. We have not only grown our
business, but have also created friendships.
We have used the Business After
Hours as an essential tool to grow our business by
meeting new individuals and businesses. We are also
able to find out what other businesses have to offer
and utilize their products or services as well.
Business referral is an
effective way to generate new business and we have
taken advantage of your Business Networking Groups
to create an avenue to present our services and
products to other members. We have seen the results
that referrals have made with our business and enjoy
helping other businesses grow with the referrals
that we can direct to them.
The Missoula Area Chamber of
Commerce is an extremely valuable organization and
being a member and getting involved has helped our
business generate tens of thousands of dollars in
new and repeat business. Thank you for helping us
develop our business and educating us to become
stronger business owners.

“Since joining the Chamber in December, I have greatly
enjoyed BAH every month, getting to meet people, and
learning about the businesses of Missoula. Recently, I
joined BNG #4. It is a new networking group and I have
found it to be a real help to me.”
-Connie George, Cheap Charley’s Mini Storage |
“I would strongly recommend anyone that is new to your
profession or new in business to join a chamber
networking group. The friendships and business alliances
you build will have a tremendous impact on your business
and professional career. You instantly have a team of 20
salespeople!”

We’ll Help Prospective Customers Find Your Business.
Each year the Chamber refers hundreds of potential
customers to its members. Can you afford not to be on
that referral list?
“The Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce is a tremendous
business resource that has helped me grow my business in
a variety of ways…. Business After Hours. Not only is it
a fun time, but it gives me a monthly opportunity to
meet other business people—individuals I don’t normally
meet.”

“I was delighted to have customers come into our
showroom this month, and after asking them how they
found us, they said the Chamber Website…. We are very
pleased to have joined the Chamber to help Missoula and
our business grow. More merchants should be improving
their businesses by doing so.”

Government Representation
We’re Looking Out for the Interests of Local Business
Our government leaders need to hear the voice of
business.
• MCIE, the Montana Council on Industry and Economy,
studies and acts on industrial and economic issues that
affect the business climate in Western Montana.
• Our Community Affairs Committee monitors governmental
and community issues, maintaining contact between
business and governmental officials involved with laws
that affect our business community.
Community Service
Be Known by Your Support of the Community!
The Missoula Chamber Bridges the Community with Business
Support to many Non-Profits.
Here are just a few examples of many:
• Special Olympics – We planned, organized and
fundraised for the Carnival Dance for the State Games
held here in Missoula for 3 years. Approximately 1000
Special Olympic athletes took part each year.
• Missoula Youth Homes – The Chamber’s Street Jam
made donations from entry fees from this 3-on-3
basketball tournament.
• Habitat for Humanity – The Chamber’s Leadership
High School Students and member builder volunteers built
sheds to be donated for sale, and all proceeds went to
Habitat for Humanity |
