Mission Statement

Building community prosperity through a unified voice to support free enterprise.

Benefits of Membership

As the oldest and one of the largest chambers in the State of Washington, the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce is also one of the most influential. Our involvement with our community stems from the belief that a robust economic climate is a key ingredient for sustaining the livability of Thurston County.

Through membership, businesses have the ability to increase sales, increase profit margins by cutting expenses, and brand themselves with their communities. The Thurston County Chamber provides numerous exclusive benefits to its membership. Here are a few:

Affordable Insurance

One of the principal benefits of membership is the availability of medical, dental, vision and life insurance. These benefits allow members to receive and offer insurance to their employees at very competitive rates.

Business Advocate for Public Policy

Your Chamber is a spokesperson for business. We represent the views of our members, and have specific programs addressing local, state and federal legislation.

Information Source

Our newsletter, flyers, forum display tables, and Internet services are some of the ways we convey vital information and help promote your business.

Leads Groups

Chamber Leads is an excellent way to build word of mouth advertising for your business through networking and relationship building. Members of our Leads Groups have generated an average of 25-30 leads a week!

Networking

Each month and several times annually, we host social events, open houses and forums for the building of relationships, exchange of information, and the discovery of new ways you can work together with other Chamber members.

Referrals

We are a prime source of business referrals, receiving thousands of inquiries each year that connect the community to our members. Our website’s Business Directory averages 4,000 referrals each week alone.

Volunteerism

Working with a committee is a valuable way to establish business contacts while contributing to your community.
