The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) welcomes back Jolene Krossman as our new Office Manager & Leadership Coos Coordinator! Jolene was employed with the Chamber from July 2014- February 2022 as their Administrative Assistant. During those eight years, Jolene worked hard to build strong relationships with our members, was actively involved with the Chamber’s Membership Development and Support, Marketing, Events and WBC Committees. She also helped develop and implement Chamber events like the annual Golf Tournament, Taking Care of Business bowling party and our annual Community Profile and Business Directory. As she stepped into this renewed chapter with the Chamber, Jolene commented. “My love for this Community has only grown stronger over the years. The people who endlessly volunteer their time for multiple organizations, the business owners who invest and support local events, and all the wonderful organizations who work harmoniously together to better this beautiful place we call home. That’s what the Chamber is all about!” With her skill, background in our Chamber and love of the community and its folks, we are privileged to have her return to the BACC team. The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit, professional business organization made up of the Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston communities. The Chamber works for a healthy economic climate of good jobs, more customers and efficient government. The Chamber’s strength lies in the number and diversity of its membership. With over 530 members strong representing every aspect of this area’s economy, we use their vast collective experiences and energy to make a positive difference in our community.
