Profile of the Chamber
On October 16, 1972, the Birch Bay Resort Owner’s Association registered "Articles of Incorporation" with the State of Washington Secretary of State. The attorney who assisted the group with their organization was David Syre of Lynden.
In 1986, the name was changed to Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce under the Non-Profit Corporation Act. Birch Bay is an unincorporated urban growth area.
The Chamber, being the only organized group open to membership for business and residents alike, became the focus for group discussions and education, networking opportunities, and actions relating to Birch Bay.
By the 1990’s, Chamber meetings were the place to go when a person needed information about Birch Bay.
In 1999 the By-Laws were revised to include:
Article II – Purpose
The purpose of the BBCC shall be to promote, encourage and coordinate cooperation and civil exchange between all elements of the community; to promote, enhance and advocate for the civic, commercial, economic, recreational and general welfare interest of the Birch Bay area, all being done not for pecuniary profit or financial gain.
Chamber meeting programs often provide educational opportunities as well as a forum for the community to communicate with various service providers; Whatcom Country Sheriff’s Department, Birch Bay Water & Sewer District, Whatcom County Parks Department, Whatcom County Public Works.
