Portland Metro Chamber

We are excited to announce that the Portland Business Alliance will now be the Portland Metro Chamber! While our name, look and website have changed, our mission to create opportunity and advance well-being for all who live and work here and our commitment to the greater Portland region remains the same. This new name and brand define the community we serve, incorporates our city’s most iconic features and highlights our legacy as a civic organization to carry us into the future. Since our founding more than 150 years ago, we have been proud to be the champion for Portland metro’s business community.

The Chamber is thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of our member, Portland Specific Chiropractic! Under the guidance of Dr. Young, they're bringing unique, top-notch upper cervical chiropractic care to Portland. Thanks to their commitment, they're offering a hand of healing to our community!

Congratulations to our Chamber member, ECOnorthwest, who has found a new home in the heart of downtown! Here's to the next 7 years of empowering the downtown community with their commitment.
