Mission Statement



The Chamber is organized for the purpose of advancing the economic, industrial, professional, cultural and civic welfare of the Central point Area. More than 80% of the membership is composed of small companies interested in prospering and creating a healthy environment in which to conduct business. But most importantly the chamber is a people who realize that they can accomplish collectively what none can do individually. The strength in the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest number of participants and creating a pool of resources from which to draw ideas, energy and financial growth and security.

    President

    Angela Doss



    I attended Modoc High School in Alturas, California and graduated from CSU, Fresno with a degree in Radio/Television Communications with the dream of being the next Joan Lunden. Instead, I got married and had three beautiful daughters: Alexandria, 16; Annalisa, 13 and Caroline, 10. I have lived in the Rogue Valley for 16 years and had the pleasure of moving to Central Point in 2003, realizing this was the community in which I wanted to raise my children.

    I am the Medford Branch Manager for Cardinal Services, a full services Human Resources company specializing in helping small to mid-sized businesses hire, manage and retain their best employees while minimizing costs.
