What it is...
Your Chamber is a voluntary organization of business and professional
people working together in a community development program to make
the Fergus Falls area a great place to shop, live and play. The
Chamber is a nonprofit, independent organization - not affiliated
with city, state, or federal government.
What it does...
Many things! The Chamber identifies and serves the needs of businesses.
It develops partnerships with educational, cultural, civic and service
organizations. It gathers facts, provides information and facilitates
discussions on key issues that impact business, the economy and
the community as a whole. It serves as the front door to our community.
How it works...
Each year, a planning session is held to make a careful study of
community needs and issues. Both short-term and long-term goals
are established and a plan is developed. Committees are then formed
to carry out the projects and activities outlined in the plan. Volunteers
are the "backbone" of the chamber. These people dedicate
their time to accomplish the Chamber's goals and objectives. Working
in this spirit, your Chamber enables our community to accomplish
collectively what none of us could do individually.
Chamber investment...
The Chamber of Commerce is supported by membership investments,
not by donation, federal funds or tax dollars. It is a necessary
investment in the future of your community and your business. Chamber
membership is recognized as a business expense on your income tax
return. No other business investment will pay such large dividends
as the one that helps to guarantee a prosperous community.
