Evolve. Your Business. Your Chamber. Your Community.

President & CEO of OCCU
When I moved to Eugene 22 years ago, I was drawn to the tremendous assets this community offers, including its diversity, access to impressive education, a thriving arts scene, strong business sector and outdoor recreation at every turn. We represent a community of remarkable opportunity!
With new developments on the University of Oregon campus, continued growth of Downtown Eugene, a blossoming tech sector and new development surrounding 5th Street Public Market, Eugene is undergoing an electrifying evolution. This added momentum, coupled with our already-thriving local business community, will help our leaders galvanize to meet the needs of our collective future.
As business leaders, it is our role to keep opportunities plentiful. By proactively embracing change and continuing to work together to support the growth of a vibrant, diverse community, where people feel safe and stable, we help create and sustain market-wage jobs, attract and retain talented employees and encourage and support small businesses. This type of growth will enable us to attract new industry to our area and retain young leaders in our community for the long term.
At OCCU, we know that change will ultimately help us to better serve our members. One of our brand pillars centers on putting what’s best for our membership at the forefront of our decisions. Our collaboration with the Eugene Chamber and the rest of the business community is one way we can deliver on this promise. Together, we create meaningful change, and we continue to pull the future closer. Collaborating and getting involved helps us to become more knowledgeable on the important issues and challenges, as we work to leverage our collective resources.
I hope you will join me in continuing to make Eugene a prosperous community and an even better place to live for all. Together, there is no question, we are stronger!
