Have I directly gotten new business as a result of my Chamber membership? Absolutely, but that is not my primary reason for being a member. I’m a member of the Chamber because of the indirect benefits. The Chamber works to improve both the business climate and the quality of life in the community. Success in these areas translates into more business opportunities for my business and an improved quality of life for me and my family.

Belonging to the Chamber helps us stay plugged into the local business community. It has given us many valuable contacts that I don’t think we would have ever made on our own.

It was an honor to participate on the Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I am extremely proud of the efforts of all the team members at our Chamber. Everyone there demonstrates commitment and passion. What a wonderful combination. I wish there was some way I could tell everyone in Cedar Rapids that there's a group of people that really, really care about our great city.
