About Us
Built by community,
for community.
Meet Emma & Maria.
Emma Lindsey and Maria Martiniello are the heart and soul of the Bearspaw Chamber of Commerce — and two of the women redefining what business leadership looks like in Bearspaw. But if you ask them, they'll tell you they're just two people who love their community and got tired of boring networking events.
It started over coffee — a conversation about why Bearspaw didn't have a place where local business owners could actually connect in a meaningful way. Not over name tags and elevator pitches, but over great food, genuine conversation, and shared ambition.
That conversation became Five | O | Five. Five | O | Five became the Bearspaw Chamber. And the rest? It's still being written — by every member who walks through the door.
Their philosophy is simple: business grows when community grows. And community grows when people show up for each other.
Our Mission
"Building a stronger, more connected business community in Bearspaw — one event, one connection, one collaboration at a time."
Community First
Every decision we make starts with one question: does this serve our community?
Authenticity Always
No corporate jargon. No pretension. Just real people building real things.
Collaboration Over Competition
We believe that when one business succeeds, we all benefit. That's the Bearspaw way.
