Forward Together. Stronger Together.

Running a business today is complex. Facing it alone is costly.

WACC helps you grow, hire, and have a voice that shapes the business climate—so your company thrives and our community does too.

Regulations shift. Talent is tight. Big decisions—like tolling or new rules—can hit margins fast. When businesses go it alone, small problems grow and opportunities are missed.

As a leader, you’re serving customers and supporting your team.

You need a partner that protects the business climate, amplifies your voice, and clears the way for progress.

We convene the region’s business voice and get results

  • Protected local businesses from millions in new costs by playing a pivotal role in the successful campaign to pause regional tolling.

  • Served as a key workforce navigator for local employers, cutting through red tape and connecting them directly to the right county and state resources to find, train, and retain talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Forward Together campaign?

The Forward Together campaign is the Wilsonville Chamber’s annual partnership drive. It’s not a donation program—it’s an opportunity for your business to gain visibility, connect with talent, and help shape the local business climate. Together, we’re building a stronger Wilsonville economy.

How does partnering with the Chamber benefit my business?

Partnership gives you more than just a membership card. You get a stronger voice in local and regional advocacy, access to workforce development programs, visibility for your brand, and opportunities to lead important conversations that impact our community.

What has the Chamber accomplished recently?

In the past few years, we’ve:

* Stopped harmful tolling proposals that would have raised business costs.

* Delivered emergency grants to hundreds of local businesses during COVID.

* Invested in workforce training to build a stronger pipeline of talent.

These results show what’s possible when businesses work together.

Do I have to be a member to participate?

No. Membership is one path, but there are many ways to get involved. You can sponsor initiatives, advertise, support workforce programs, or invest in leadership development. Even if joining the Chamber isn’t your next step, Forward Together gives your business a seat at the table.

How do I get started?

It’s simple:

1. Schedule a 30-minute conversation with a Partnership Advisor (Zoom or in-person).

2. Explore the options that fit your goals.
