Introducing Cd'A chamber rebrand
But that's not all – our updated color palette takes inspiration from the breathtaking natural beauty of our surroundings, infusing traditional greens and blues with a modern twist.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Solutions suggested
Could there be any greater warnings than the status of our Kootenai County public schools? ‘Something is wrong with the System? (Sept. 26 in the Coeur d’Alene Press) Presently, a large percentage of our kids ‘graduate’ without needing to know how to ‘read?’ Most of our kids kids don’t need to know math, and they graduate from our local high schools? Now, virtually every student can graduate and nobody is held back? In spite of this, presently, about 20% of our youth are ‘driven’ to create futures and persevere through Advanced Placement classes and enter America’s universities. This can leave about 80% of our youth virtually unprepared for life.
CIVIL WAR: Rhetoric is dangerous
Memorial Day; a time to honor and remember our fallen veterans. They were our fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and in many cases, mothers, daughters sisters and wives. Families were broken, hundreds of thousands were wounded and live a life of pain and disability. Not something you would wish on a loved one.
Giving thanks
As we approach Thanksgiving, the Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber of Commerce would like to take a moment to reflect on the blessings we've received throughout the year.
Chamber: The gathering place
I want to express my deep sadness and total outrage over the recent incident in McEuen Park.
OPINION: Saving our Republican soul
Conservative focus is on individual dignity, the creation of opportunities with freedom to succeed, and a government that serves - but not rules - its people.
FALLACY and OPINION: Often the same thing
Two letters in The Press contained false statements I would like to emphasize. These are from the first letter: 1. Biden has devastated our economy. 2. Public schools are indoctrination camps. 3. Teaching our children to hate our country and freedoms. 4. Defunded our police. 5. Made cities battlegrounds. 6. Demolishing the Second Amendment on the agenda. 7. Ranked voting has ruined our society. There is no evidence for these statements. They are opinions.
E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one
In recent years, Coeur d'Alene has experienced several disturbing incidents of hate and harassment targeting underrepresented minorities. These incidents have included verbal attacks, and other forms of discrimination. A recent event occurred in McEuen Park, where youths from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe were verbally harassed. This incident underscores the ongoing presence of intolerance and bigotry in our community. Tragically, this vitriol seems to be the norm on social media, but our beloved community must consider holding itself to a higher standard.
3Cs COEUR d’ALEERS: Grateful for generous holiday spirit
On behalf of the 3Cs Coeur d’Aleers, I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to you, the members of our community, who came to our free Christmas concerts at Trinity Lutheran church on Fifth Street on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 28 and Friday evening, Dec. 1. This is our annual gift to the community with the hopes of stirring up Christmas spirit. Your smiles and the enthusiasm you showed for our performance certainly stirred up our spirit!

A message from our outgoing chair
As we bid farewell to 2023, I want to say that it was my honor to serve the CDA Regional Chamber as chair through a year of efficiency, strategy and collaboration that has propelled our chamber and the members we serve to new heights.
Idahoans react to reported racial incident
Officials and organizations across Idaho reacted on Tuesday to the reported racial incident involving the University of Utah women’s basketball program in downtown Coeur d'Alene. Here are some of their statements:
MY TURN: Dereliction of Duty
Congress again avoided a government shutdown and kicked the can down the road for another 45 days, but much damage has been and continues to be done to our all-volunteer military by irresponsible members of Congress.
Fourth of July American Heroes Parade: A heartfelt thank you to the community
The Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber's annual 4th of July Celebration was a resounding success, bringing the businesses and citizens of this community together in a vibrant celebration of love for our great nation and the men and women who serve in our armed forces.
ELECTION: Vote for Jimmy McAndrew
This letter is to encourage the good people of Hayden to please support our public schools and vote for Jimmy McAndrew for Zone 2 trustee. Jimmy has lived in North Idaho all his life and has proven himself to be a conservative, productive, intelligent and invaluable member of this community. In addition to a successful career in banking that continues to thrive, Jimmy has served in countless local volunteer positions. Please visit his website yourself to see how he has selflessly dedicated himself to our community.
FAIRGROUNDS: Keep them where they are
Dear Commissioner Brooks, I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed relocation of our local fairgrounds. As an event owner who brings approximately 4,500 attendees to the Kootenai County Fairgrounds annually, I have witnessed firsthand the significant positive impact this location has on our local economy, particularly for hotels, restaurants and other small businesses.
The power of change: A message from your chair
As we embark on this exciting journey into 2024, I am thrilled to share with you the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead for our businesses and our community. As your new chairman of the board, I am honored to lead our collaborative efforts toward a year of innovation, growth, and unparalleled value for our members.
CHAIRS: Thanks for the help
I wish to thank a gentleman for retrieving our folding chairs that fell out of our truck on July 17 as we were on our way to our great-granddaughter’s T-ball game (ages 4 to 5 years old) heading north on U.S. 95 to a park on Lancaster Road.
ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Dallas Market: A retailer's paradise for sourcing unique gifts and wine accessories
As the owner of The Dinner Party, I recently had the opportunity to attend the Dallas Market. This event is a gathering for retailers like myself, offering a vast array of products to source for our shops. While many may associate our store primarily with wine, we offer a vast array of home décor and gift items that pair perfectly with an array of tastes and budgets.
