Coeur d'Alene Chamber Breakfast March 10 to Feature Gookin, Commissioner Mattare

The Coeur d’Alene Resort will host the Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber’s annual State of the City & County Breakfast on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. PDT, featuring remarks from Coeur d’Alene Mayor Dan Gookin and Kootenai County Commissioner Bruce Mattare (District 2) followed by a moderated question-and-answer session.

The Chamber describes the event as “a timely and informative conversation on the future of our community,” and organizers say the morning will give business and community leaders a chance to hear priorities and challenges shaping the year ahead. The moderated discussion will explore infrastructure and transportation, workforce housing, public safety and emergency services, land use and permitting, healthcare, and utilities and broadband.

Linda Coppess, president and CEO of the Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber, framed the breakfast as part of the Chamber’s member services: “At the Chamber, we are committed to ensuring our members stay informed and engaged. The State of the City & County Breakfast provides our business community with insight into the decisions and strategies shaping the year ahead.”

Numerica Credit Union is the presenting sponsor for the March 10 breakfast. Carla Cicero, president and CEO of Numerica Credit Union, said: “Numerica is proud to support conversations that shape the future of our community. Our mission is ‘Enhancing lives, fulfilling dreams, building communities.’ Events like this bring leaders and citizens together in ways that strengthen understanding, partnership, and progress for everyone who calls this region home.” The Chamber’s event page also lists sponsor categories including PRESENTING Sponsor, AV Sponsor, and BUSINESS TABLE Sponsor and invites organizations to review available sponsorships.
