BACKGROUND
The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce was founded 75 years ago in 1946 by a group of local business leaders, in order to better promote Jackson Hole as a travel destination. As the Chamber realized success in its original mission, its scope expanded to more traditional Chamber of Commerce activities, including advocates for the local business community and residents who call Jackson Hole home.

While its roots are still firmly planted in destination marketing and management organization framework and activities, the Chamber “Rides for the Brand” each day and champions organizational excellence while recognizing the critical balance of business and quality of life for residents.

Commitment to Sustainability

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce is committed to being a leader in business sustainability and sustainable tourism in Jackson Hole and Teton County, Wyoming. We seek to preserve our natural and cultural heritage while contributing to local economic development and sustainability. We seek to inspire and educate our Member businesses and guests and introduce them to our authentic and incomparable natural and cultural heritage. 

Businesses belong to the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce for both intrinsic and extrinsic reasons:

Intrinsic = The Chamber is the mechanism that ensures a prosperous future for their business and our community. Collectively, it gives small businesses a big voice in community affairs.

Extrinsic = Pride in being a part of something bigger: A pillar in the community that is making a difference. 

Our brand is one of our most valuable assets. It defines who we are, communicates the promises that we deliver on, and unifies every area of our organization.

Want to get involved?

Chamber members have the opportunity to participate on committees that play significant roles in directing Chamber efforts. The Chamber Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and staff select members for these committees based on the level of expertise in the areas of marketing, events, business development, young professionals, and government and community affairs. 

If you’d like to get involved by volunteering on a Chamber Committee, email info@jacksonholechamber.com for more information.

“Ride for the Brand” is our brand promise, and is defined by a commitment from the organization to its members, an invitation for others to join the movement, to call for a rallying cry, and to remain strong and forward-looking, just like our Western origins.

Ride for the Brand represents the full spectrum of work and programming the Chamber does, and, the value Chamber members get from their membership: a powerful voice in community affairs looking out for the interests of the business community and the integrity of the Jackson Hole ethos. 

“Ride for the Brand” is both a commitment from the organization to its members and the community and an invitation for others to join the movement. A movement that is focused on maintaining the integrity and qualities of life in Jackson Hole while expertly and proactively addressing the new issues and challenges that make the market so dynamic. It is the external, market-facing expression of the organization’s mission and vision.

The brand is the essence of what Jackson Hole stands for: conservation, adventure, community,

and humanity. When we “Ride” for the brand, we are advocates and champions for the integrity and continuity of the best of what Jackson Hole has come to represent to the community and to the world; to ensure that these pillars or strands of Jackson Hole’s DNA are proactively managed and promoted for the quality of life our community thrives on and the quality of experience our visitors expect and deserve.

The Chamber of Commerce prides itself on its level of organizational transparency. Review the Chamber's important tax documents below:
