Liza Roeser, Founder and CEO of FiftyFlowers, spoke at the Boise Metro Chamber’s CEO Speaker Series. She told us about how she started the business, which is now a multi-million dollar company, based here in Boise. Liza, known as “The Flower CEO,” showed photos of the beautiful arrangements FiftyFlowers has created for weddings, special events, and even the Miss Universe pageant. She mentioned that she now supplies flowers for about 2,000 weddings per week! Liza talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic brought a lot of fear, as the business landscape quickly changed for her booming company. But Liza took advice from Brene Brown, and chose courage over comfort. She innovated new ideas during the pandemic, including a campaign to “Save the Growers” and DIY flower arrangement classes. Liza’s story is inspiring. We were delighted to hear her speak today. This event could not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. The presenting sponsor for the CEO Speaker Series is Bank of America. Blue Cross of Idaho, Idaho Business Review, United Heritage Insurance and Boise Airport also sponsored this event.

In October 2022, that vision became a reality through a partnership with the Boise Centre, where the visitor information center was formerly located. On October 10th, the Boise Metro Chamber and Visit Boise held a soft opening for the Gift Shop & Visitor Information Center. A plethora of area information and items for purchase are available in the Boise-themed shop: swag from Boise State University, the University of Idaho, Ward Hooper, Idaho Candy Company, and much more.
