Organized on Sept. 27, 1912, the Coeur d’Alene Chamber held its first meeting on the second floor of the Exchange Bank Building on Sherman Ave. Through both hard economic times and times of great profit, the hard working efforts of Chamber Members have been the foundation of our community’s success. Watch for many exciting events and stories throughout the year in the Coeur d’Alene Press, on the Chamber’s website, and various publications! We have some fun and exciting events planned that you’ll want to be a part of.
