Note from the

Executive Director

Happy Thursday Chamber Partners,

I hope your day is going well! We have been celebrating National Small Business Week with over 400 Chamber members in our community. Our membership is a strong reflection of the vibrant small business community in our area, with over 200 businesses with 1 to 4 employees and another 80 members with 20 employees or less. It is clear that supporting small businesses is crucial to our local economy, and we are committed to doing our part to help these businesses thrive. Let's come together to celebrate our local small businesses and the important role they play in our community!

We would like take a moment to express our gratitude to State Senator Jean Leising and every one that attended our Legislative Update Lunch & Learn. Your presence and active participation made the event a resounding success and we couldn't have done it without you! We would also like to extend a special thank you to Ivy Tech Community College for graciously hosting us, and for Wood-Mizer joining us as a co-sponsor. We hope you found the event informative and engaging, and we look forward to seeing you at our future events. Thank you again for supporting us and our mission to create positive change in our community!
