Bay Area Chamber of Commerce
Develop, Promote and Connect your Business
The Bay Area, consisting of Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston, is a truly unique community. Located on the Southern Oregon Coast, home to some of the most spectacular beaches and sand dunes in the world, the Bay Area has become a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and retirees to experience living in the unspoiled beauty that surrounds us, and is the perfect nest for young families to grow. Our business community accentuates individuality and character while our retailers strike a balance between distinctively local shops and nationally known chains. So whether you’re a first time visitor, prospective new resident or business owner considering relocation, once you come here, you’ll never want to leave.

The Chamber Minute 03/11/24
March 11, 2024 Presenting another Chamber Minute from Rosey Thomas, Our Theme this year is a Season for Change and your Bay Area Chamber Team has been proactively working areas of transformation. We have been bolstering our Chamber teams, such as our Ambassadors, who are actively seeking new members to grow their dynamic team. The Business Development team is energetically orchestrating events aimed at bringing even more opportunities for businesses and community to come together. Even our Legislative action team is diligently engaging members on the policies and issues facing local businesses; keeping members informed and polling our membership. Our Executive Committee is working to revamp the education committee and We are revamping our website for user friendly changes coming soon! In our efforts to connect with members we have been distributing our member directories and seeking valuable feedback on the changes they’d like to see in their Chamber. While the ambitious goal of delivering all those directories in a day eluded us, our journey took us to many of your businesses. If you still need a new window decal or Membership directory, please don’t hesitate to reach out, call our office or come on down to 145 Central Ave […]

Bay Area Chamber Minute March 4, 2024 Happy March Everyone, We were blessed as an area to host again the 3A Basketball tournament last weekend. Many of our local businesses displayed their favorite Teams and or support for 3a Basketball with window displays, 3a basketball brings visitors and a boost for our economy every year. I saw the Amity school bus park right in front of the Chamber office and they all exited the bus to go check out the Display at H&R Block which housed their Amity Team display, I was able to go out and welcome them; They were so jazzed about all the window displays they were seeing in town. Great Job being such great hosts and really showing everyone who doesn’t live here just how hospitable Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston can be!

The Chamber Minute 02/26/24
In for another Chamber Minute, its Rosey. This is Leap Year and that means we get an extra 24 hours this year to do with what we see fit. Leap Day is like an extra track on your favorite album, it doesn’t come along often so when it does, we should make the most out of it. Its an extra 24 hours to fill our day with laughs, kindness, and unforgettable moments. To leap means to jump or spring a long way, or to move quickly or suddenly. Like our Chamber Teams who “leap” into action when they are needed for a member to host an event or promote something. In life, maybe we can look at this extra time as a way to remember to “take a Leap” now and then, step out of our comfort zones and act on something new, go visit a place in your town you haven’t been to yet, try a new activity, speak your mind about something, tell someone how you feel, spread some extra positivity…and Take the leap, it may be just what you needed. Sprinkle some adventure into your extra day if you can. We do not get chances like this […]
