Dear Chamber Members,
As we approach the end of the year, the Chamber staff and representatives from Prime Advertising and Design are already hard at work on the 2016 Community Resource Guide. We're very excited that the Guide will now be direct-mailed to nearly 28,000 area residents and businesses. The Guide will also be available at the Chamber office and city halls.
All members of the I-94 West Chamber of Commerce will be included in the directory listing in the Guide. You can increase your visibility and reach by purchasing an ad. To learn more, call 763-551-3720. Deadlines are quickly approaching, so don't delay!
In addition, if you know of area businesses that would benefit from Chamber membership, now is the perfect time to join! Any new members must join by December 1 to be included in the 2016 Community Resource Guide. Please call the Chamber office with any questions.
Enjoy the upcoming holiday season!

During this session we will explore the power of being present during our interactions with family, friends, and within our careers. With today's technology, the demands of "being connected" all the time can interfere with our relationships with others. Being present goes hand-in-hand with our ability to be "everyday leaders" and empowering others to do the same. We will discuss ideas around bringing calm and peace to our stress-filled day by being present and still getting everything done.
Naomi Mogard is the Campus Director at Rasmussen College's Brooklyn Park/Maple Grove location. She is completing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at St. Mary's University, earned an MS in Educational Leadership from Saint Cloud State University, and received bachelor degrees in Individual and Family Studies and Social Work from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. Prior to her career in higher education, she worked in the K-12 school sector.
Naomi joined Rasmussen in 2008 as Academic Dean and since then has held positions of Director of Student Affairs and Campus Director. Her passion is helping to develop "everyday" leaders within the organization and our community. She takes great pride in seeing others grow both personally and professionally, guiding understanding that true leadership is not about a position or title but about influence.
The Business Institute provides unique opportunities to build leadership and management skills that can be used both in business and within the community.
Mark your calendars for December's Business Institute course: Tuesday, December 8, 3 pm to 4:30 pm, featuring Wendy Neu of Crossroads Coaching & Consulting: How to Coach and Mentor Associates. More information and registration available HERE.
