A NOTE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
Chamber members,
Ho ho ho. It’s December already!
We are excited to finish the year strong, together. Join us on Thursday, December 12, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Wayzata Country Club for our Annual Holiday Celebration! We will salute our Chamber Stars, welcome new board leadership, recap 2024 milestones, and celebrate an exciting announcement positively impacting our fantastic Chamber Members and business community. Get ready to toast the year to come! Please click here to register through Eventbrite.
The holidays are important for Chamber member retailers and other business owners. We urge you to shop local throughout the holiday season and beyond! The business community supports our communities throughout the year. We encourage you to buy from them, wherever you may live and work. View the Member Directory here.
Looking ahead to January, our 2025 Leadership Luncheon Series kicks off in mid-January through May. These must-attend events feature influential leaders throughout our region and state. The past two series have been extremely informative and well-attended. The Chamber is offering a discount if you purchase the entire series in advance. Purchase your Leadership Luncheon Series Pass until January 15th—buy four and get the fifth one for free. Click here to buy yours today and stay informed!
As we transition from 2024 to 2025, I’d like to recognize the fabulous Chamber staff: Becky Pierson, Brooke Beyer, Judy Johnson, and Anna Skemp. These four are the heart and soul of this Chamber, and I think the world of them. I’d also like to thank the Board of Directors for allowing me to serve as Chair this year. It was an honor and extremely satisfying to help chart the future of this magnificent organization. Thank you and enjoy a safe and joyous holiday season.
