  • What are businesses saying about their Chamber membership?

  • “By being listed in The Chamber’s online membership directory, and linking back to my website, my local SEO has gone up without me paying for Google Adwords. Being a member helps my brand and my visibility to new clients! Thanks to The Chamber, my last two clients searched for graphic design in Fargo, and chose me.”
    Sue Skavlem, Skavlem Designs

  • “I’m a newbie to the chamber community, and the first impression of the chamber team, website, ambassadors and events has been phenomenal. Chamber 101 was content rich, and was especially helpful in getting acclimated to the features and benefits of the chamber site. Business After Hours was a fun way to make connections while enjoying some great food. Shortly after joining, I had lunch with my ambassador, and he helped fill in the knowledge gaps I still had regarding the chamber. All the way around, it’s been a great first month, and I’m looking forward to being part of the chamber community!”
    – Matt Nagel, Marsh McLennan Agency

  • “The Chamber gives me the opportunity to stay plugged into what is happening in the business community, and it’s a valuable vehicle to foster a network. It keeps me connected.” 
     Gregory Wald, Moore Engineering, Inc.

  • “The Chamber has helped me grow my network in Fargo-Moorhead. It really made being in town for school to being in town as a professional a nice transition. I love being involved with The Chamber!” 
    – Erica Johnsrud, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Red River Valley

  • “I like the fact that we are part of an organization that is trying to make our community better each and every day by not only making our current business community better, but by working to bring new business and people to our community, which helps us all.”
    Dan Martinson, Fargo Glass & Paint Co.
