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. Business belongs 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.
