This year, the Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrates its 50th Anniversary, marking five decades of dedicated service to our mountain community. The Chamber was founded on December 11, 1975 by a group of local business people and has been proudly supporting businesses and organizations in the Conifer area ever since. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of our members, volunteers and leaders who have worked tirelessly to promote a thriving local economy while preserving the character of our community. Join us in honoring this legacy as we look forward to the next 50 years of success and partnership!

Good leadership can make or break a group like this and we have had some truly amazing leaders over the years. As a nonprofit organization, the Chamber is run by a board of directors, and this year, Bill Aubin of Optive Commercial Capital serves as our board president. Bill leads with quiet confidence and a strong commitment to serving the community. He is willing to make tough decisions to do what is right. We have been lucky to have him at our helm this year.

Next time you see one of these community leaders, please thank them for their work! If you can fill in some of the years we are missing, please email the name and year to [email protected].
