A note from the president

For 10 years as a combined chamber, your FMWF Chamber has served and represented Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and our greater metro. Now, we’re heading into our new fiscal year with energy, focus and collaboration. Our businesses need to attract and retain top talent and stay competitive even in the face of uncertain times. We’re committed as ever to providing top-tier events, programming, benefits and opportunities to help our members thrive. Over 109,000 employees rely on us for leadership, education, advocacy and engagement. Through a thoughtful and diverse array of events, committees and programs, together we’re fulfilling a vital need for our region’s professionals.

The Chamber draws on the diverse strengths and expertise of public, private and non-profit member organizations to advocate for a pro-business environment, educate the professional community and engage members in the pursuit of a prosperous region. What is a Community Builder?

Community Builders are a group of businesses that invest in higher levels of support for The Chamber’s events, programs and community. Their contribution is a recognition of the work we do, helping us bring in top speakers to events, shape our program offerings to impact area professionals, add engaging new member benefits and experiences, and advocate on behalf of the business community. This helps us make the FMWF region thrive and make positive change for the businesses and professionals that call this place home.

Why be a Community Builder?

Community Builders give above and beyond their initial Chamber dues investment through sponsorship and marketing dollars to support the work we do. In return, they receive a unique set of privileges and benefits that enhance their business. From increased exposure to heightened networking, Premier Partners gain access to an extensive network of businesses and professionals. Through partnership with The Chamber and their fellow members, they make a positive difference for our community.
