Strategic Plan

Our Vision: A vibrant business community.

Our Purpose: Building community through connections, events, and economic prosperity. We connect local businesses, residents, and stakeholders — creating a network of support and collaboration that strengthens Elkford's economy and quality of life for everyone.

Our Strategic Goals

Improved Communication

We're building trust through stronger, clearer communication — both within our organization and across the Elkford community. That means a more effective board, a redesigned website, an updated member directory, regular member surveys, and closer partnerships with local media, organizations, and schools.

A Thriving Community Hub

We're creating a central gathering place for Elkford's business community — a hub for events, workshops, and collaboration. This space will bring together local businesses, residents, and partner organizations and become a cornerstone of how we showcase everything Elkford has to offer.

An Effective Organization

Great outcomes start with strong leadership. We're investing in our volunteers and board members through better training, clearer onboarding, and more growth opportunities — ensuring the Chamber stays well-equipped to serve our members and our community.

Sustainable Finances

A financially strong Chamber means a stronger business community. We're diversifying our revenue through membership growth, enhanced member benefits, grants, sponsorships, and new fee-based services — so we can keep investing in Elkford's economic future.
