Business Education

Business and Professional Development

The Corvallis-Benton Chamber Coalition supports the ongoing development of businesses and professionals.
We will be offering luncheons, workshops, and lectures on business and professional development throughout the year. Please check the calendar of events.

In addition, the Chamber Coalition coordinates with the Business Enterprise Center, the LBCC Small Business Development Center and the OSU College of business to offer programs to members.

The Business Enterprise Center offers monthly Brown Bag seminars for start up and small businesses.
OSU Deans Distinguished Lecture Series is open to the public, and archive videos are available on their web site.
