Federal Issues
Driving federal support for infrastructure & economic vitality in Oregon.
Federal Policy
Championing Central Oregon’s voice
The Bend Chamber partners with federal leaders to advance policies that support Central Oregon’s businesses, focusing on infrastructure, workforce, and economic growth.
The Chamber has a history of success in working with our Congressional delegation to drive funding to Central Oregon for transportation in infrastructure projects, among other policy priorities.
Through strong partnerships with Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, former Congressman Greg Walden (now looking forward to working with Congressman Cliff Bentz) the Chamber has successfully advocated for funding projects in Bend that will improve safety and support our growing region.

The Bend Chamber Association Health Plan is one of the ways the Chamber supports local employers, employees, and their families.
Over the past several months, the Bend Chamber Board of Directors, Chamber staff, and the Health Insurance Task Force have worked closely with Johnson Benefit Planning to identify a long-term carrier partner that will preserve the value, stability, and affordability of the Bend Chamber Association Health Plan. Following a comprehensive and competitive Request for Proposal process, we are pleased to announce that Moda Health has been selected as the plan’s new carrier partner.
