Mission
We preserve and advance the quality of life in Missoula by advocating for a healthy, responsible and diverse business environment and by providing resources that help businesses succeed.
Vision
We will be a leading catalyst in creating a cooperative and prosperous community, which inspires and motivates the majority of area businesses to invest their resources with the Chamber in helping build Missoula’s future.
Core Values
Advocacy
Without business, there is no community. Therefore, we will be a driving force in conversations about managing, improving and growing our city as we will use our collective voice to shape public policy and perceptions about the role of business in our community.
Expertise
Providing credible, fair and well-researched information is an essential service to our members and the community. We will be a knowledgeable and trusted resource that works at the forefront of relevant issues and clearly communicates in a timely manner so our constituency can make informed decisions.
Collaboration
Working cooperatively with stakeholders is how we share knowledge, engage in productive discussion, find consensus, solve problems, develop common goals and build a healthy community. We will work to enhance existing relationships as well as build new public/private partnerships within the organization and the community to help support Missoula’s economic growth.
Leadership
Creating and facilitating ways for community members to contribute to the greater good of Missoula is vital. We will actively nurture the development of leaders to ensure that a viable, strong community is passed on to future generations.
Connection
We will continually develop ways to link businesses and customers together, provide opportunities for members and the community to mentor and learn from each other, and engage in activities that cultivate the goodwill required to build a strong community.
Innovation
We confidently approach change as an opportunity to foster creative solutions. Our disciplined and forward-thinking efforts will generate new ideas to improve the Missoula area, develop viable services that support businesses and entrepreneurs, and develop strong coalitions that advance community prosperity.
