Minnesota Chamber of Commerce

WHY JOIN?

A rocky economy. Leaders who don’t seem to listen, or even understand the issues you encounter in running a business. Growing partisanship with little common sense or practical solutions to the issues facing our state. And what can you say about the madness in Washington, D.C.? While you may occasionally lay awake at night and worry about issues seemingly out of your control, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce can provide some peace of mind.

We listen. More than 900 one-on-one visits with CEOs and business leaders last year. Hundreds of visits with local chambers, business groups, members and nonmembers. Our staff is ready to serve.

We respond. Our members have a proactive agenda to make it easier for you to grow your business in Minnesota. Topping the list are: Streamline the environmental review and permitting process; expand base-load energy in Minnesota; reform state and local government spending; strengthen Minnesota’s future workforce; implement state health care reforms. Check out our members 2010 priorities.

We are heard. If you feel like you have no voice, think of the influence we can generate together. The collective voice of the Minnesota Chamber – 2,400 companies, 130 local chambers and 60 trade associations – is influential and effective. We offer premier events year-round. Become involved in setting the statewide business community’s priorities.

We assist. Need a permit? A new facility? The ear of a government official? We provide hands-on business assistance to any and every company in Minnesota, and those looking to Minnesota for a business expansion. BusinessConnection is a one-stop hotline to assist in solving your everyday business problems. Find ways we can help you save money through a variety of HR products.

We innovate. Creative programs to benefit your company, and the environment, like Waste Wise and Energy Smart enhance your bottom line and position your company for growth.

We know Minnesota doesn’t have the corner on “quality of life.” Most businesses could be almost anywhere in the world. We also know that quality of life is built on a strong private sector in a state where innovation, hard work and commitment are appreciated. Our goal is to build an environment in Minnesota where every business, including yours, has the opportunity to succeed.
