With over 1,200 members, the Bend Chamber is one of the largest Chambers of Commerce in Oregon and one of the largest in the Pacific Northwest.

Bend Chamber’s roots run deep in Bend’s history. Although business alliances have existed in Bend as early as 1907, the Chamber’s membership began to rise in the 1920s and 1930s, as area visitors began discovering Bend’s unique recreational haven. Over the years, the number of Chamber members has grown steadily with Bend residents.

Some of the Chamber’s earliest members include Miller Lumber Co., Bend Garage, (now Chevrolet Cadillac of Bend), and the law firm now known as Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis. All of those businesses still are thriving in Bend.

The Bend Chamber always has been progressive, with its first woman president,  Irene Bostleman, serving in the 1960s. Iren ran Carlson Sign Co. after her husband, Ted Carlson died. Their son, Peter Carlson, is now president of Carlson Sign Co. and was the Chairman of the Board of the Chamber in 2005.
