CHAMBER UPDATES
It's official - we are now moved into the back office and Mettle Computer Solutions has taken occupancy of the front of the space.
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 hasn't changed?
Our commitment to our Members.

This month's Spotlight Sponsor: HealthSource of Rogers This month's speaker: Justin Sundberg, CPA: Organization Tips for the New Year.
After workin g at one of the nation's largest accounting firms, then at smaller firms, Justin recognized an opportunity to provide a quality option for professional tax accounting, bookkeeping, and process enhancement services in the small and medium sized businesses market. Justin has a passion for helping others. With a desire to do his own thing, he started his own accounting practice where today he helps business owners elevate their business processes and acumen so they can achieve independence from the back-office work that takes time, effort, and for many of us, patience.
Justin has helped many entrepreneurs design plans to grow their businesses. For businesses with material amounts of income, taxes are a very large concern. Right now, a small business owner can pay up to 60.85% of their income in Federal and Minnesota taxes. Justin has over 10 years' experience getting businesses and business owners more cash (pay less taxes) to use in their business or to spend on their family.
Join us on Wednesday, January 20 to learn tactics, strategies, and considerations that will help you elevate your business in 2016 and beyond.
