Member of the Greater Spokane Chamber of Commerce

The Twyford Law Office is proud to announce its membership in the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce. Membership offers an opportunity for the firm to become more deeply involved in the community whose members it has represented for many years.

A Proud History and Proactive Goals

The City of Spokane and the surrounding Spokane Valley have a rich heritage. From the Native American tribe known as the Spokanescomes the name Spokane, which means Children of the Sun. At the time of its incorporation in 1881, the town took up just 1.56 square miles. As of 2014, the city itself had grown to an area of 57.8 square miles and 212,052 residents.

For nearly a century, the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce has focused on serving the city and the surrounding region. As the Spokane Valley area developed, business leaders realized there was a need for an organization that would represent area business interests. On May 25, 1921, they founded the Chamber in Greenacres.

From the Chamber’s inception, its mission has been to serve business concerns, to improve the vitality of the community, and to fuel economic prosperity for the Greater Spokane Valley. The Chamber believes the key to realizing its mission is building an agenda that is both inclusive and collaborative with the community. Thanks to community participation, the BIG 5 project has identified five measurable goals to draw businesses and industries to the Spokane Valley:

Greater Outdoors promotes and protects the area’s outdoor vitality.
Greater Goods showcases the area as an emerging high-tech leader in manufacturing.
Greater Learning integrates education and business to form the future workforce.
Greater Cures fosters medical research from the conceptual stage to the cure.
Greater Vision builds an enterprising identity for the region.

The Chamber also has an active legislative program to support the BIG 5. It includes six activities to enhance the competitiveness of the area’s business climate, plus community projects and educational initiatives.
