The Whitefish Chamber's mission is to "provide leadership to promote the vitality of Whitefish through collaboration and communication." Since 1947, the Whitefish Chamber of Commerce has helped businesses like yours grow and prosper. We offer businesses a wide range of opportunities to promote business. Programs offered throughout the year will give you a chance to network your business, make new contacts and make a difference in the community. Chamber membership can keep you informed about community issues that are especially helpful if you conduct business in this area. The following list is a brief glimpse of what Whitefish Chamber of Commerce membership can do for you:
  • Business Contacts - Networking opportunities throughout the year exist from our very popular Gone Fishin' program to business seminars and focus groups.
  • Referrals - One of the most important functions the Chamber performs throughout the year is driving business your way. Our goal is to inform as many customers of your products and services and drive those customers to your business. There are a number of ways the Chamber accomplishes that - our visitor services operation, our highly utilized Web Site, our publications, and our on-going public relations efforts.
  • Representation - The Whitefish Chamber is present at city and county meetings. We keep you informed so you have the most current information of community activities that may affect your business.
