Cascade is a Member-governed association of nearly 500 diverse industry organizations. We established our roots in 1947 for the purpose of providing employers of all sizes and industries with the solutions needed to effectively manage and develop their workforce.  Today we're recognized as one of the most trusted human resource consulting organizations in the region.

Cascade offers four membership package options designed to support employers based on organization size, level of HR needs, and experience within their teams. View all package options here. We're happy to help you select a package that provides the level of support to match your organization’s HR needs.

Our annual membership fee is based on the number of employees within your organization and which of four membership packages (Essential, Small Business, Premium or Pro) you select. Prices range from $720 to $5190 per year. You can find a convenient Membership Dues calculator at the bottom of this page.

We offer a full suite of HR services, including: navigating complex employment laws; employee handbook development; diversity, equity, inclusion services; a full suite of recruitment services; and equitable compensation structures. We will train your team to drive engagement or coach your leaders to bring out the best. We can even help you build your HR practices from the ground up. In a nutshell, we pretty much do it all, so just ask if you don't see a service listed on this site.

A few. Non-members can purchase our pay and benefits surveys, attend training programs, and access certain consulting services for a significantly higher price. Most of the time, membership is the best value.

Just about every type of business sector found in the region: manufacturing, nonprofits, distribution, wholesale and retail, technology, health care, agriculture, business services, banking/finance, food processing, construction, government agencies, and more.

Member organizations range in size from 1 to several thousand employees. The average employment size is about 100. Any organization with employees will find our services beneficial.

While most of our members are located in Oregon and SW Washington, some of our members also have locations in other parts of the country.  When that's the case, we may not be as familiar with a specific state's employment laws; however, we have a lot of online resources for all 50 states in our Member Only area and we are also associated with a group of other employer associations around the country that can step in and provide assistance when needed.

Because at Cascade we have nearly 80 years of HR experience and workplace solutions under our belt. Our long-standing reputation backs our reliability and quality of service. With us you get access to a staff of familiar experts and a wealth of resources at your fingertips when you need them. And typically, because of the pooled purchasing power of nearly 500 other employer members, we're the most cost-effective solution around.
