FROM THE CHAIR
|
|
Dear Chamber Members,
The I-94 Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and staff would like to thank you for another amazing year. You - our members and volunteers - are what makes our Chamber great. We appreciate your participation as sponsors, committee members and chairs, attendees, and volunteers. We value your input and love to see how your Chamber membership has made a difference for your business.
As the year transitions, so too does our Board of Directors. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Bob Schlichte of Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Hinckley and Catherine Reller of Country Inn and Suites - Albertville for their service on the Board and to our members. Their terms on the Board will come to an end soon and we'll welcome two new Directors, Naomi Mogard of Rasmussen College and Lisa Albers of Rush Creek Golf Club. We look forward to the perspective and insight they will bring to the Chamber leadership.
Thank you for your support of the Chamber. We hope that you continue to find value in your Chamber membership in 2016, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season.

CHAMBER UPDATES
| |
The Chamber is moving... but not very far!
If you've stopped by the Chamber office recently, you may have noticed that we're in the process of moving our operations to the far back conference room. The rest of the offices, including the large center conference room, will be occupied by Mettle Computer Solutions beginning in January of 2016.
What does this change mean for our Members?
- We will no longer use the separate, exterior entrance. You can find us through the main entrance door and down the hall to the right (close to the restrooms) in Suite 217.
- If you're planning to stop in, you should call ahead. Now that we have limited meeting space, we'll be in the community much of the time, connecting with businesses and community organizations, in addition to our regularly scheduled networking and events.
- If you are in need of notary public or certificate of origin services, please call and make an appointment.
- The conference room and other offices are no longer available for Member use.
- We'll still have an area for business cards and other information in the hallway outside the office, accessible to visitors even if we're not here.
What won't change?
Our commitment to our Members.
