Celebrating Women In Our Community
Non-profits, of which Gresham has many, are often managed by strong, compassionate women. The Chamber has many non-profit women Executive Directors and managers. Two examples of our many amazing leaders are Brianna Winningham, Ambleside Meals on Wheels People and Shoshannah Ruwethin, The Salvation Army Gresham Corps.
Diane McKeel and Annette Mattson
Educational decisions affect us as parents, taxpayers, and business owners. Kris Howatt, Feather Your Nest Quilt Shop, Gresham-Barlow School District board member, Diane McKeel, and Annette Mattson, Mt. Hood Community College Board of Trustees make impactful educational decisions.
Hard work leading to success is often harder when you are a woman-owned minority business. Tortilleria Y Tienda De Leon's owner Lucy De Leon, welcomed the challenge and is a strong role model in our community.

Tips, Tools, & Press Releases
Why does my steering wheel shake when I apply my brakes?
This usually means that the brake rotors on your vehicle have become warped. It is recommended to have your brakes inspected along with a runout test of the brake rotors to check for the degree of warpage. For proper control and safety we would recommend having what is recommended after the inspection performed to take care of your brake system.
Helpful hints when you experience a fire-
  • Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
  • Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.
  • Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.
Epcot is more than just a theme. In fact, it’s a real working garden producing over 30 tons of fruits and vegetables each year for park visitors.
Feeling achy? Try moving! Even just 20-30 minutes of walking and stretching those muscles you haven’t been using can drastically reduce pain.

Travel Oregon
Crater Lake

Just one of Oregon's Seven Wonders.

Surrounded by cliffs almost 2,000 feet high and boasting a picturesque island a violent volcanic past, Crater Lake is also home to hikes in old-growth forest and cross-country ski trips in the winter months. Many of the roads and facilities close during the winter, but the park is open and accessible all year long.
