Rebecca Grizzle President CEO
It’s been a busy (and good) stretch here at the Chamber—and honestly, just the way we like it. First up, a big thank you to everyone who attended our recent Candidate Forum for Oregon Senate District 6 and House District 11 . We had a great turnout and some solid conversations about business in our community. And to the candidates who showed up, answered tough questions, and put themselves out there—thank you. That’s not always easy, and it matters. If you missed it (or want to relive the excitement), you can catch the full forum on our Facebook page. Speaking of strong turnouts—the 44 North Credit Union Biz Expo was a success! This event continues to be one of the best showcases of what makes our business community so special. From first-time vendors to longtime Chamber champions, it was a great mix of energy, connection, and opportunity. We’re already looking ahead to next year. Now… time to dust off those clubs. Our Annual Golf Tournament is coming up on June 26, and if you’ve been before, you know this is not just golf—it’s networking, laughter, and just enough competition to keep things interesting. Teams are filling up, and early registration pricing has already passed, so if you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time to get on it. Grab a team, sponsor a hole, or just come out and enjoy the day at Pineway. And finally, a quick heads-up—our Cascade Gateway Leadership program is wrapping up next month. This group continues to impress every single year, and if you’ve ever considered getting more connected, more informed, and more involved in our community… this is your sign. Watch for applications to open for next September’s class. It’s a great program, and yes, I’m a little biased—but also not wrong. As always, thank you for being part of what makes Lebanon such a strong and connected business community. We couldn’t do this without you—and frankly, we wouldn’t want to.
