Our Mission: The Talent Business Alliance revitalizes our regional economy by empowering businesses at every stage of development and building destinations worth visiting, living in, and returning to. Through technical assistance, advocacy, placemaking, and the cultivation of arts and culture, we create equitable social and economic opportunities that restore vibrancy and long-term prosperity to our community.

​

The Talent Business Alliance (TBA) of Talent, Oregon has been active since 2005 (formerly the Talent Chamber of Commerce). After a period of volunteer inactivity due to COVID-19, a new board reactivated TBA in the spring of 2022 and is working to support the small business and nonprofit community in Talent, Oregon. 

​

Talent lost 60% of our businesses in the Almeda Fire, and the remaining 40% (mostly small businesses) are struggling in the wake of incredible losses from the fire and the COVID-19 pandemic.

​

The Talent Business Alliance is building connections among local business owners, supporting their access to financial aid and business grants, increasing the customer base, and providing technical assistance to support the recovery of the business community.
