Membership Maximizer
Join us for a Membership Maximizer, our morning welcome reception for new members. This gathering is typically held from 8 – 9 a.m. in the Chamber Coldspring Conference room at the Chamber office about four times a year. Think of it as your foundation platform from which to build your Chamber benefits.
This is a free event for all new Chamber members, and any employees who are new to the Chamber. More information will be shared when they are scheduled!
Top Hat Ambassadors
Our Top Hat Ambassadors are the welcoming face of the Chamber. Watch for them at Chamber events – they’re there to welcome you and introduce you to other members. You’ll also be invited to meet with the Top Hat Ambassadors when you first join the Chamber so they can stop by to say hello and take a photo.
If you have any questions about your membership or any upcoming events you can call us at 320-251-2940 or click here to email the staff. We’d love to hear from you!
