Welcome to the Business Association of Monroe (BAM!), where community collaboration meets entrepreneurial spirit! BAM! is a dynamic and vibrant group comprising dedicated business owners and community members united by a common goal – to enhance and promote the economic vitality of the city of Monroe, Oregon, and the surrounding South Benton community.

At BAM!, we believe in the power of local businesses to drive economic growth and foster a strong sense of community. Our members come from a diverse range of industries, from charming boutiques and cozy cafes to innovative tech startups and essential service providers. What unites us is our shared passion for supporting local businesses and creating a thriving local economy.

Our mission is twofold: to brainstorm and cultivate innovative ideas that benefit our businesses and community, and to champion the “Shop Local” movement. Through collaborative efforts and a commitment to mutual success, we aim to strengthen the bonds between businesses and community members, creating a symbiotic relationship that uplifts everyone.

BAM! meetings are lively forums where ideas are born, partnerships are forged, and strategies are devised to navigate the ever-evolving business landscape. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a community member with a passion for supporting local, BAM! welcomes you to join the conversation.

In addition to our regular meetings, BAM! organizes events and campaigns that celebrate the uniqueness of our local businesses. From street fairs and community markets to promotional campaigns highlighting the diverse offerings of Monroe and South Benton, we actively work to create a vibrant and bustling local scene.

Join us at BAM! as we work together to foster a sense of pride in our local businesses, cultivate a strong community spirit, and make Monroe, Oregon, and the South Benton community a destination where residents and visitors alike are inspired to “Shop Local” and invest in the success of our community.
