Your Business Partner
The Chamber of Commerce of the Twin Cities can be your business partner and can actually give your business an advantage.
The Chamber is a group of volunteers whose common bond is to advance the commercial, financial, industrial and civic interests of the Twin Cities. The Chamber is often the first contact people have with our community, whether they be visitors, newcomers, potential new business owners or industrial recruits.
Joining the Chamber gives you the opportunity to become involved with other members to shape the future of our community.
