Mission & Purpose
The Greater Connell Area Chamber of Commerce promotes and executes a number of events throughout the year to expand and enhance the aura of the community.
Chamber sponsored events include but not limited to:
- Chamber Banquet - People of Year Awards
- Fall Festival - Annual Community Celebration
- Wine & Brew - Halloween/Fall Gathering
The Chamber is host to a community text message alert system that broadcasts up to twice a month. Now included in membership, chamber members can take advantage of the service to offer promotions or publicity for their business or cause.
The missions and goals of this Chamber may and do change with board membership and the times. With the ongoing focus being community-wide events, there are occasional special projects and opportunities such as the Job Fair following Lamb Weston shutting down or the Volunteer Coin honoring local youth sports coaches.
We welcome new corporate businesses, small businesses, cottage/home businesses, individuals and non-profits to join as a member at any time during the year. Memberships run on the calendar year and renewal/new packets are sent in January.
North Franklin Visitor Center
Through cooperation with City of Connell & Port of Pasco, The Chamber is the main operating tenant of the Ang Building in Connell.
