The construction boom, brought about by World War II, was winding down, and Alaska's business leaders recognized the need for an organized effort to develop a new, stronger economic base for Alaska.The first leaders of the Alaska Chamber discussed tax incentive legislation, development of the state's forest and mineral resources, promotion of the tourism industry, and increasing agricultural production. With statehood, the name was changed to the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, and the organization represented the first unified effort to have the voice of business in the state legislature.Under new staff and the direction of the President and CEO, the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce has rebranded to be recognized as the Alaska Chamber.
