MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Belong to the Chamber… Who Me? Why?

Why is it important and vital to your business to join the Chamber? Your support helps us achieve our mission of businesses and professionals, united to promote the business climate and quality of life in the Algona area.

The Chamber is responsible for hosting a number of successful community and business networking events and activities throughout the year. With the help of so many great Chamber members and volunteers, we entice our residents and visitors to get involved. Each event we put on plays a huge role in making Algona a great place to work, visit, and live! These events are not possible without the help and support from our local businesses.

The Chamber continues to work with City of Algona for economic development initiatives for Algona. If you are doing business in Algona, you are dependent upon the growth and prosperity of Algona to make your business become more profitable for you. When the city grows all businesses benefit. Working together we are stronger than working separately.

With our membership management software, we have made a commitment to bring more opportunities to our members to promote their business. The software includes a website that we strive to continually update (visit www.algona.org). Staying on the cutting edge of technology is a commitment that the Board of Directors felt very strongly about as we look at ways to work for our business community. 

Our communication process has been upgraded and updated to our members by doing a weekly email update. This allows us to provide timely information on community and Chamber activities and events. We have also increased our social media presence and hope that you might have noticed all the photos, posts, and updates on our activities & events. Please check out our Facebook page and like us so you can see all the things that are happening (https://www.facebook.com/AlgonaChamber). In addition, we have created a Facebook page dedicated to only Chamber member businesses where we will share your posts. Check out: https://www.facebook.com/AlgonaShopShare

No town, or business, ever stands still. You either PROCEED or RECEDE. Our community is active NOW, competing for industries, new businesses, better roads, more housing, and everything else that will make us better, more prosperous, and a more pleasant place in which to live and do business.

Together we accomplish more to continue to make Algona a stronger and more vibrant community. Let’s work together to strengthen, support, and energize Algona.

We hope you see all the benefits of being part of the Chamber.
