WHO WE ARE The Seattle Metro Chamber is the largest and most diverse business association in the region representing 2,500 member companies and a workforce of about 750,000. OUR VISION We seek an economically vibrant and globally competitive region where businesses of all sizes flourish and prosperity is shared. OUR MISSION The Chamber is a business advocacy organization that helps our members thrive in an equitable and inclusive regional economy. WHAT WE DO At the Chamber, we believe that the business community thrives when the whole community is healthy. And we believe our region is uniquely positioned to compete in the global marketplace because we embrace three key attributes: we create jobs, we are responsible stewards of the environment, and we ensure access and opportunity for all. We play many roles as a result. The Chamber is: 1. a policy advocate and the only Chamber in the area that represents business at the city, regional, state and federal levels; 2. a convener and coalition-builder around issues we all care about, from transportation to education to the environment; 3. a one-stop shop for all of the tools businesses need to grow, from high-quality networking to employee benefits; 4. and a community partner and champion for projects, initiatives and people who make our region globally competitive as well as a great place to live, work and raise a family.
