AN AFTERNOON OF GOLF….AND NETWORKING!!
Join us for the annual West Coast Bank Wilsonville Open Golf Scramble on Thursday, June 24th. The scramble is being held again at the gorgeous Langdon Farms Golf Course just south of the river. This popular event offers something for every skill level and a premier opportunity to network, market your business, have a great time and play a little golf on a course designed for any level of golfer.
Registration begins at noon and the driving range opens shortly thereafter. The shotgun start at 1:45 pm will send the golfers on their way. On-the-course contests include a putting contest, chipping challenge, a men’s and women’s KP (closest to the pin), men’s and women’s long drive, the money ball challenge, and a fun Poker Run.
Once again, a prize will be awarded for the most creative use of a sponsorship opportunity. Sponsors are encouraged to think outside the box and make the most of their tee or green sponsorship. “Tee and green sponsors can really get a lot of value from a very affordable sponsorship if they make it memorable,” noted Bruce Mack, Chair of the Scramble Committee. “There always seems to be one or two holes that stand out. Our goal is to make them all memorable!”
Foursomes are available for $500 and individuals for $125. Again this year, the registration fee includes 18 holes of golf with cart, lunch, refreshments, team photo, hole-in one, driving range, long drive & KP contests and a post-scramble BBQ dinner.

Exec Talk
By:
Steve Gilmore
CEO
June marks my second year as the CEO of the Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce. It has been a wonderful ride and thank you all very much! We have accomplished much and your Chamber Board and staff pledge to continue to make the Wilsonville Area Chamber of Commerce the most vital business and advocacy association in the south metro region.
These successes are the result of many people who dedicate their time and energy to the Chamber, leaving a positive impact on the area in which we all live or work. With the economy being so difficult, the staff, Ambassadors, and leadership of the Chamber find ourselves out in the community even more, interfacing with businesses to try to help them through these rocky times. The Chamber will do everything possible to help our individual members, but the long-term solution to the challenges that our individual members have is to ensure that the business climate in Oregon, Wilsonville, and in the Metro region is more business friendly.
Businesses must be given every opportunity to succeed. Some businesses will flourish while others will fail, however government should never be the reason that a business fails and that is why we must continue to advocate strongly on behalf of the business community. Past actions by the Chamber in opposing Measure 66 & 67, our strong support of transportation projects, and our current support of PGE’s 20/20 Plan is proof that we are willing to step up and do what is right on behalf of business.
Your membership to the Wilsonville Chamber not only benefits your business because of the benefits that you receive such as networking and the annual directory, but because we have a unified voice we can strengthen and grow our local economy which will ultimately help all of us.

President's Column

Chamber President
MUST ATTEND MEETING. Wilsonville Mayor Tim Knapp and Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden will make a joint appearance at your Chamber luncheon on July 13, 2010. These two very good community leaders will be sharing insights on many issues impacting both Cities. This is a must meeting so make plans to attend. I guarantee your time will be well spent.
SUCCESS! Your Chamber, the city, and many of our member businesses wrote to TriMet in late April opposing the agency’s proposed reductions in Westside Express Service (WES) commuter-train transit services. TriMet responded that it will not only continue the same level of WES service, it will work with SMART to identify and implement improvements to our current services. Everyone of us should be proud of our individual and joint efforts to achieve this outcome. This is a tremendous success
BUSINESS ADVOCACY – Oppose Unnecessary higher costs for energy. The Chamber has weighed in on the matter of Portland General Electric’s (PGE) alternative plan for the Boardman Plant in its 2009 Integrated Resource Plan. There is a process now underway to close this plant in 2014. PGE has proposed an alternative approach calling for the closure of this plant in 2020. PGE’s proposal would save PGE customers about $600 million over the next decade, compared to the 2014 closure. Obviously, PGE’s proposal will enable PGE to keep electricity costs reasonable for our businesses.
Your Chamber sent a letter late last month to the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) in support of PGE’s 2020 plan, adding your voice to the voices of several other businesses and business organizations supporting the PGE 2020 proposal. Today (May 14), your Board of Directors approved the Chamber to file a Petition to Intervene before the OPUC in support of PGE’s 2020 Plan. The Board took this action to vigorously represent the interests of business and our membership since the economic wellbeing is the Chamber’s first priority.
Additionally, the Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce has taken a leadership position as being the only Clackamas County Chamber to take an official supportive position of the Boardman 2020 plan and the only Chamber in Clackamas County to file a Petition to Intervene with the OPUC.
University of Oregon’s Index of Economic Indicators. As I promised you in January, the University’s index rose 0.2% in March 88.9 (1997=100) from a revised February figure of 88.7. KeyBank sponsors this report. The bank’s Wilsonville office has been a Chamber member since 2003 and is a Gold Club member.
Tim Duy, Director of Oregon Economic Forum, reported the pace of improvement slowed in March compared to previous months. For example, the Index for October 2009 was 84.8%. Most March 2010 index components were little changed compared to February 2010, with the exception of solid gains in consumer sentiment and new orders for core capital goods.
Overall, the steady gains in the UO Index – especially the large gains compared to six months ago – signal sustained growth in Oregon. Still, labor market conditions remain challenging, as economic growth falls short of that necessary to generate solid gains in hiring intentions. Although hiring is expected to improve as ongoing recovery improves business confidence, the pace of growth looks consistent with only slow improvements in unemployment.
