BACKGROUND:

The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) was established in 1980. It is a non-profit, professional organization made up of the Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston business communities. They work together to create a strong business voice, promote businesses, and improve the economy of the Bay Area. The BACC continues to be recognized as a vital link between the cities, state, and regional parties of leadership, and act as the promoting entity for community spirit within the Bay Area.

 

The Chamber's strength lies in the number and diversity of its membership. The activities of the BACC vary by the needs of the business community. Much of the Chamber's work is accomplished through the volunteered time and efforts of its members, primarily through committees, providing community leadership in the areas of economic development, government affairs, leadership development, natural resources, tourism and transportation.
