PCoC also advertises and promotes our local businesses, events and attractions through a tourism specific website (www.tourprosser.com) a variety of print media, social media, a printed Visitors Guide brochure that is mailed to more than 200 regional area information centers, and trade shows. Approximately 50% of the Chamber's funding and a significant amount of time are devoted to this area. Community Events- The Prosser Chamber was able to host 6+ community events this year in the months January-December. Each of these events is geared towards growing Prosser businesses, building associations between members, drawing visitors to our area, and promoting our community at large. Events range in size from an attendance of 50 to 1,000 people and approximately 20% of the Chamber's time, energy, and funds are devoted to these events. Due to Covid restrictions multiple regular events were cancelled or modified, which required additional attention and resources. Business Growth and Membership- The final focus of the Prosser Chamber of commerce is to facilitate business growth in any area not already focused on in our first two activities. This includes but is not limited to: maintaining both a print and online business directory that allows us to recommend member businesses to community members and visitors, providing area information and references to those interested in relocating here, and facilitating member networking through meetings and member specific social events. Approximately 30% of the Chamber's funds, time and energy are devoted to this area. 174148 false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false X 17 14 true false true false true true false true true false false true false false false true true false WA X LINDSEE CURFMAN 5097863177 1230 BENNETT AVENUE PROSSER WA 99350 JOHN-PAUL ESTEY Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 50677 0 0 JENNY SPARKS President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GORDON TAYLOR - 1st VP Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JANELLE WILLIAMS - 2nd VP Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA HALL Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARISA ROOSENDAAL Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY AUBREY - Past President President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DON AUBREY Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANE HAGARTY Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 NEAL RIPPLINGER Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADELA LEDESMA Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUE POTEET Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JADE VISSER Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON HITCHCOCK Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON OLSEN Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROB MCKINNEY Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SETH JOHNSON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 MORGAN EVERETT Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 50677 0 false false false 0 28203 4300 108183 140686 ART WALK AND WINE GALA 900099 25006 25006 BEER AND WHISKEY FESTIVAL 900099 2250 2250 COMMUNITY CASH 900099 9055 9055 MISCELLANEOUS CHAMBER 900099 31053 31053 MISS PROSSER 900099 1676 1676 69040 0 0 0 0 0 4300 895 -895 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 1302 1302 1302 210133 70342 0 0 0 0 50677 0 8154 0 0 5062 0 0 0 0 0 0 532 25083 12124 3056 0 6480 0 0 0 0 0 0 8622 TOURISM AND PROMOTION 25735 MISCELLANEOUS CHAMBER EVENTS 9169 ART WALK AND WINE GALA 8168 COMMUNITY CASH 6314 4972 174148 0 0 0 10957 46942 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10957 46942 0 0 X 10957 46942 10957 46942 10957 46942 X 35985 X false false false false false false false 28203 true 5625 5625 false Part IV, Line 1b: Why is organization an agent, trustee, custodian or other intermediary for contrib Prosser Chamber of Commerce acted as the intermediary for a Benton County PUD Sponsorship to Depot, Inc. for an HVAC system.
