It aims to provide value to its members through advocacy and leadership, fostering a positive environment for business, tourism, community, and education. The chamber represents nearly 500 member entities, collectively serving about 2,000 individuals, underscoring its role in local economic and community life. The chamber's activities are guided by a President/CEO and professional staff, under the leadership of a 17-member Board of Directors who serve without compensation and are elected by the membership, with significant work carried out by volunteers on committees and task forces. In early 2026, the organization announced plans to operate the Northwest Cherry Festival during renovations of its traditional First Street location, including adjusting the footprint to move the carnival to Lewis and Clark Festival Park.
