Estes Chamber, contractors form alliance

ESTES PARK — An alliance has been formed between the Estes Chamber of Commerce and the Estes Valley Contractors Association.

The contractors association’s board voted last week to form the partnership to provide a new organizational model for members of the Estes Valley’s construction industry. Developer Frank Theis, who heads the association, said in a chamber news release that the Building Advisory Committee will continue to be a resource on construction-specific matters. The move to integrate will also mean the dissolution of the existing association’s board, with the chamber taking over management of communications and organizational assignments.

Businesses that want to be active members of the alliance will also be asked to join the Chamber of Commerce.

“EVCA members joining the alliance will be able to look forward to receiving all the benefits of Chamber members and access to our extensive resources and educational programming,” Chamber President Colleen DePasquale said in a prepared statement. “Additionally, the newly formed alliance will expand membership to allow subcontractors, suppliers and affiliated businesses – anyone who ‘touches’ the construction industry – to now have the opportunity to become an active participant in the alliance, when they join the Chamber.”Any construction-affiliated businesses interested in joining the Chamber and becoming involved in the alliance may apply for membership through esteschamber.org or by contacting the Chamber directly.
