We are the Boise Metro Chamber, and we serve as the region's advocate for a vibrant and prosperous economy and outstanding quality of life. The programs and services we provide supports four core areas: economic vitality, advocacy, member education, and member engagement. We currently serve 1,850 member businesses representing 120,000+ employees through the Boise Metro area.
We have served as the voice of the Boise business community since our incorporation in May of 1900. We aim to make Boise a better place for you and your family to live, visit, and do business. This goal has become a reality through our strategic partnerships with the Boise Valley Economic Partnership and the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau as well as our nationally-recognized programs including Boise Young Professionals and Leadership Boise.
