Yesterday evening, members of the community joined the Boise Metro Chamber’s October Business After Hours, hosted by Chamber member Hilton Garden Inn. Attendees gathered together for a delightful night of networking and full tradeshow as they enjoyed treats and refreshments courtesy of the Hilton. A handful of lucky guests won prizes donated by tradeshow members.

Thank you to all of our tradeshow vendors for joining last nights event. It is always wonderful to see our Chamber members participate in events, and support one another!

Monopoly Boise Edition will be available this Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 8 a.m. at the Boise Metro Chamber Gift Shop and Visit Boise Information Center (conveniently located within the Chamber's headquarters at 1101 W. Front St., Suite 100, ​Boise, Idaho 83702). The game is priced at $40 and you can get an extra 10% off that on First Thursdays.

In February 2023, Top Trumps USA announced they would be creating a Boise version of the popular game, and asked residents for feedback nominating locations they'd like to see featured. The Boise Metro Chamber and Visit Boise supported the endeavor. At that time, the Chamber's president Emeritus, Bill Connors said, “A Boise version of the beloved MONOPOLY game is a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together, and it is a reflection of the vibrancy of our city. From the Greenbelt to the Foothills and everything in between, let’s work together to make this game emblematic of what it means to live and ​work in the City of Trees.” Both the Boise Metro Chamber and Visit Boise are featured on the center area of the Boise Monopoly game board. 

On the night of October 19, 2023, some guests of the Boise Metro Chamber's 140th Annual Gala had the opportunity to meet and have their photo taken with musician Ashley Campbell, daughter of Glen Campbell, who was the event's keynote speaker. Ashley had a close connection to her father throughout their life, and became especially close while being his caretaker during his battle with Alzheimer's. Ashley and her mother have become spokeswomen helping to raise awareness about Alzheimer's, which she spoke about during the night of the Chamber's Gala. She shared tender moments about touring with him and his time in care at Abe's Garden.  A fundraiser during the event helped raise $10,000 for the Alzheimer's Association - Greater Idaho Chapter.
