ChamberWest April Update - Golf Season, Events, Advocacy, and Opportunities Ahead

Dear ChamberWest Members,
 
April is a pivotal month for business leaders—tax deadlines loom, tariff discussions are intensifying, and Q2 is well underway.  It’s a critical time to evaluate progress, sharpen strategies, and focus on the initiatives that will drive growth. At ChamberWest, we’re here to help you stay informed, connected, and equipped with the tools and advocacy you need to lead with confidence.
 
At ChamberWest, your membership is far more than a listing in a directory—it’s a strategic alliance. Our mission is to help you build meaningful relationships, tackle challenges head-on, and ensure your voice is heard in the conversations that shape our business environment—locally, statewide, and nationally. Together, we’re strengthening the economic future of the westside through collaboration, innovation, and inclusion.
 
We’re riding the momentum of a fantastic Women in Business Spring Conference, where over 170 attendees were energized by dynamic speakers and valuable connections. Today, we’re proud to host our Annual Job Fair, bringing together 50+ employers and hundreds of students and job seekers. And early in May, a delegation of 18 ChamberWest business and civic leaders will travel to Washington, D.C. to meet with our congressional representatives and advocate for the priorities of our region.
 
As always, we’re grateful for your continued engagement and excited about what’s ahead. Whether you’re focused on expanding your network, developing leadership skills, or staying ahead of policy shifts, ChamberWest is here to support your success—every step of the way.
