The event calendar supports export to Google Calendar, iCal (Outlook/Apple), and Yahoo Calendar. New members are vetted by the Board of Directors per the Chamber's bylaws, and the organization is supported by a corporate partner ecosystem including Avista, Alaska Airlines, Walmart, multiple regional credit unions (Numerica, ICCU, Gesa), Banner Bank, Greenstone, Northern Quest Resort & Casino, Spokane Transit Authority, Modern Electric Water Company, and Solstice. The Chamber operates a wholly owned nonprofit subsidiary, the Spokane Valley Chamber Foundation, which supports charitable and community initiatives.
