The Lebanon Chamber of Commerce is constantly looking for ways to provide value to our members and to help business in Lebanon prosper.  We continue to partner with Linn Benton Community College to offer business training to help local business succeed and improve our economy.

In addition to being the Chamber of Commerce, we are also the Lebanon Visitors Center.  We greet 100's of visitors, provide information about things to do and what to see while in the Willamette Valley.  One of our favorite things is to guide people to what's happening in East Linn County.   

It's an exciting time to be the Executive Director of the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce.  Membership continues to grow with new business and industry coming to Lebanon.  The Chamber has adapted the city slogan: 'Lebanon, It's Easier From Here' because it really does define the business atmosphere.   The Chamber staff gladly provides information on everything from the History of Lebanon to member services and products as well as info on the many Non-Profit organizations serving our citizens.  

We plan networking events that include the annual Distinguished Service Awards Dinner,  Biz Expo, Economic Summit, Chamber Golf Tournament, Business After Hours, Member Forum Lunches, Women In Business Luncheons, and Cascade Gateway Leadership.  We believe in a town this size, people do business with people they like.  Our events are friendly and provide the venue for people to get aquainted and learn about each other.  . The chamber is the perfect way to get to know your community and other business people. 

Prior to becoming the Executive Director at the Lebanon Chamber, I worked for Southern California Edison for 23 years in customer service.  When we relocated to Lebanon in 1990 I became the Sales Manager for Eads Broadcasting in Lebanon.  It was through working with business owners in Lebanon, Albany and Corvallis that I learned about the Willamette Valley as I helped them market their services and products.

I bring my marketing background combined with my commitment to customer service to the Lebanon Chamber to help members grow their business's and make Lebanon a destination for visitors who want to enjoy the beauty of our green valleys, rich mountains and refreshing rivers and lakes. 

I represent Lebanon on the Board of Education at Linn Benton Community College.  I serve on the Linn County Fair and Expo Advisory Board as well as the Lebanon Community Hospital Foundation Board and the Linn County Compensation Board.   I am a member of the Linn County Employment Council and work closely with Lebanon Basic Services. 

I invite you to visit our chamber office at 1040 S. Park St. in Lebanon.  Find  out about what Lebanon has to offer you!  I look forward to working with you!
