Summary
Bill Mason, treasurer of the Josephine Area Chamber of Commerce, briefed the MDD on the chamber’s membership growth, events, grant program and offered co-promotion, directories and data-sharing to support business recruitment and local entrepreneurs.
Bill Mason, treasurer of the Josephine Area Chamber of Commerce, presented the chamber’s activities, membership growth and services and offered to partner with the Municipal Development District on recruitment and promotion.
Mason described the chamber’s networking events, vendor programs and an 'Empowering Entrepreneurs' grant that supports startups with fewer than three employees. He said the chamber maintains a physical directory and online listings for member businesses, runs vendor tables at community events that draw large attendance, and can help promote MDD recruitment packages and co-branded outreach materials.
Board members asked about listing ETJ businesses and about linking the chamber and city web pages; Mason said the chamber’s site already lists businesses by tier and that the chamber can highlight MDD-backed opportunities. The presentation also surfaced opportunities for joint trade-show representation and welcome packets for new businesses.
Ending: The chamber offered to share materials and follow up with staff on co-branding and outreach opportunities that could be incorporated into the MDD’s recruitment strategy.
