What's New

The Helena Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for the Leadership Helena Class of 2010 – 2011. Interest in this class has grown tremendously as past participants share their growth and learning experiences with fellow employees. Sam Allred from AZ & Company will once again facilitate the morning leadership sessions. Leadership Helena is a great experience for anyone who is interested in learning more about their community while at the same time developing their leadership skills and potential. The cost for the program is $750 for Chamber members and $900 for non-Chamber members.

Helena kicks off a late summer learning extravaganza in 2009 as it hosts the first Helena Institute. Come try a range of courses designed to inspire new talents or delve deeper into established crafts. These aren’t just traditional classroom-based sessions though; participants will experience the classes in a hands-on way for personal enrichment, continuing education credits or just the sheer fun of it. The inaugural Helena Institute consists of courses held throughout August and September. There are more than 30 activities to choose from in a range of disciplines. Topics include cooking and food, outdoor recreation, fibers and fabrics, dance and yoga, writing, outdoor and Montana history, musical instruments, art, mosaics, paper arts and many more. For more information and a complete schedule of the classes, please visit helenainstitute.com, call toll free 888.564.6609 or e-mail helenainstitute@gmail.com.

The Chamber is proud to announce our nomination of Bob Morgan, fourth generation Montana and one of the original founders of the Western Rendezvous of Art, as our Helena Chamber 2010 Artist of the Year. In the piece he created for the Chamber, Morgan has captured the glory of the Green Meadow Barn, a massive yet elaborate structure which was part of the Green Meadow Ranch, and was located where Green Meadow Drive now runs just north of the Lewis & Clark County Fairgrounds. The barn measured 450 feet in length and 40 feet high. Unfortunately, the magnificent structure was lost to fire in 1956, along with 22 head of prize stock. Part of the stone wall which fronted the barn can still be seen today. Morgan has already completed this great piece of artwork, and it is currently hanging in the Chamber offices. We invite you to stop by and see it! You will also get a chance to own a piece of history by purchasing prints of Morgan's lastest masterpiece.

If you are between the ages of 21 and 39, the Helena Area Chamber of Commerce has a group just for you! The Young Professionals Group is a great networking, socializing, and professional development opportunity targeted to this age group. We have a steering committee that creates a program agenda for monthly functions that are specifically designed to involve young members in the Chamber.
