Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce

On 1/27 the Anoka Area Chamber hosted a Manufacturers Summit with area members. This event gave the Chamber’s Executive Committee some great insight into their issues. An action plan will follow.

Things are rocking at the Anoka Area Chamber office. Although we’re early in the New Year, so many things are on the table right now. We have our Gala Dinner Fundraiser on Feb. 26th. Planning is underway for the Anoka Classic Car Shows that will begin in mid May on Saturday nights in downtown Anoka. Planning is also underway for the 12th Annual Anoka Riverfest & Craft Fair set for July 10th. The Chamber’s Scholarship Program is going on in area high schools as we prepare for judging in early March. Plus of course all of our networking opportunties.
Check out the web site for a complete schedule of upcoming events!

On January 19th the Board of Directors of the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce voted to support the Northern Lights Express Passenger Train that would run from Minneapolis to Duluth. To learn more about this project, go to www.northern lightsexpress.org

On January 12th the Chamber hosted two great events.  In the morning we had our annual Business Panel Day at Connexus Energy.  This event puts businesses in front of students interested in their field.  Over 80 students from our area high schools were in attendance.

In the afternoon the Chamber hosted our annual State of the Cities Luncheon.  A large crowd were updated from mayors and city managers alike on what happened and is happening in our local communities. 

This is just another example of the Chamber working in our communities!

Welcome to the New Year. Make a resolution to use the many benefits of membership in the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce!
