Josephine County

What Josephine County does

The Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce is a private, membership-based non-profit organization founded in 1924 and headquartered at 1995 NW Vine St., Grants Pass, Oregon. It serves as the regional business association for Josephine County, providing business advocacy, networking programming (Greeters, Business After Hours), marketing and advertising opportunities, educational resources (BR&E Peerspectives, business surveys), demographic and lifestyle data, and community engagement services. The Chamber operates a 1-10 person staff and runs a portfolio of major recurring community events including Concerts in the Park (40th season in 2026), the Wine Stroll (Mother's Day weekend walking wine tour), Monster X Tour, and JOCO Fair. It also manages a community calendar listing 338+ events and serves as a visitor center for the region.

The Chamber's underlying technology is the GrowthZone (ChamberMaster) SaaS membership management platform, which powers the searchable business directory, online member application and portal, event registration, ticketing, and communications infrastructure. Marketing channels include the grantspasschamber.org website, a weekly email newsletter (E-News Weekly), and active Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram accounts. The online platform is commodity chamber software; the organization does not develop proprietary technology products.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: tiered annual membership investment levels (Bronze $310, Silver $590, Gold $1,160, Platinum $3,400, Diamond $5,000, Legacy $7,500), event ticket sales and sponsorships (e.g., Wine Stroll tickets at $50 pre-sale / $55 day-of), and advertising/sponsorship placements across digital channels and event programs. The Chamber operates exclusively in the Southern Oregon region and is not part of any parent organization, governed by its own Board of Directors. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Klamath Falls Chamber of Commerce: Southern Oregon / Klamath Basin Chamber with overlapping rural-county service area. Competes for a similar small-business membership base and regional tourism positioning in a comparable market.
• Medford-Jackson County Chamber of Commerce: Closest geographic peer — the Chamber serving the regional commercial hub of Jackson County in Southern Oregon. Operates the same SMB-to-enterprise membership model, regional tourism mandate, and event-driven GTM in an adjacent county seat.
• Ashland Chamber of Commerce: Tourism-influenced Southern Oregon Chamber with a strong visitor-services function, similar SMB/mid-market member profile, and event-based sponsorship model in an adjacent Ashland/Rogue Valley market.
• Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce: Douglas County, Oregon Chamber of comparable size and rural-county demographic mix. Runs a near-identical membership, event, and community-advocacy model for a similarly scaled Southern Oregon county seat.
• Coos Bay – North Bend Area Chamber of Commerce: Coastal Oregon Chamber serving a similarly sized county-seat market with comparable membership tiers, community events, and tourism/visitor-center responsibilities.
• Bend Chamber of Commerce: Central Oregon Chamber of similar scale but with a stronger tourism economy; runs comparable signature community events and multi-tier sponsorship programs serving a similar mix of local SMBs and enterprises.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: National-level Chamber of Commerce and institutional parent body for accredited U.S. local chambers; provides policy advocacy, accreditation, and shared tooling that local chambers including Josephine County interface with as dues-paying members.
• Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce: Larger Lane County, Oregon Chamber operating in the same state with a broader economic-development mandate, larger staff, and state-level policy-advocacy footprint — providing context for scale-up and capability expansion.
• Salem Area Chamber of Commerce: Willamette Valley regional Chamber tied to the Oregon state capital, with a broader mandate, larger membership base, and substantially larger event portfolio than Josephine County.

Regional players

• Redding Chamber of Commerce: Northern California (Shasta County) Chamber of comparable scale and rural-county dynamics; operates a similar business-mix and event-driven sponsorship model in an adjacent regional economy on the I-5 corridor.
