CDA Chamber Announces America 250 Luncheon: Investing In America’s Future Featuring U.S. Treasurer, Brandon Beach

COEUR D’ALENE, ID — Friday, April 24, 2026 — The Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber is proud to announce the America 250: Investing In America’s Future Luncheon, taking place Thursday, May 14 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM at The Coeur d'Alene Resort.

Presented by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, this special event will bring together business leaders, community members, and regional stakeholders to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States—a milestone moment to reflect on our nation’s legacy and look ahead to the future we are building together.

The luncheon will feature keynote speaker Brandon Beach, the 46th and current Treasurer of the United States.

A Vision for the Next 250 Years
In his keynote address, Treasurer Beach will explore how strategic investments in infrastructure, economic development, and business leadership can drive prosperity for generations to come. Drawing on decades of experience in both the public and private sectors, he will also touch on emerging national initiatives like Trump Accounts and what they could mean for long-term financial security and opportunity across the country. He will share insights on:

• Strengthening America’s economic competitiveness
• Advancing infrastructure to support growing communities
• Building thriving business ecosystems that fuel innovation
• Positioning regions like North Idaho for long-term success

His perspective bridges national Treasury priorities with real impacts felt at the local level. He will highlight how federal economic decisions shape everyday lives, and how individuals, businesses, and community leaders can play an active role in strengthening their regions and contributing to the nation’s future.

Celebrating Legacy. Inspiring the Future.

“As we approach our nation’s 250th birthday, this is a moment to reflect not only on where we’ve been, but where we’re going,” said Linda Coppess, President & CEO of the Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber. “This event is about celebrating the spirit of America—innovation, resilience, and opportunity—and how our business community continues to carry that legacy forward.”

“The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is about collaboration and community. When Treasurer Beach agreed to come visit us on the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, I encouraged him to stop in Coeur d’Alene and speak about partnerships, prosperity and marking the 250 year anniversary of our Country,” said Chief Allan, Chairman of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and Presenting Sponsor of the event. “Strong communities are built through partnership, forward-thinking leadership, and a shared commitment to opportunity. We are proud to support this event as we look ahead to the next 250 years of growth, innovation, and prosperity.”

The America 250: Investing In America’s Future Luncheon aligns with the Chamber’s mission of Visionary Leadership for Our Businesses and Our Community, bringing together leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of our economy and our region.
