Thanks to for the delicious lunch we enjoyed during our Chamber Board of Directors meeting today.

With construction season underway, a little planning ahead goes a long way for our local businesses. Take the extra step to support them–it’s always worth it. Just look at this salad!

We also had the opportunity to hear legislative updates from Minnesota House Representative Jim Nash. We appreciated the discussion and continue advocating for issues important to our business community.
