From the President's Desk: Let’s Make Your Membership Work for You
At the Palisade Chamber, we’re committed to helping local businesses grow, connect, and thrive. We know you’re busy running your business—and that sometimes it’s easy to forget everything your chamber membership includes. Every so often, we hear from past members who say they didn’t quite find the value they expected, and that’s something we take seriously.
But here’s the heart of it: membership isn’t just a line item – it’s an opportunity. And like any opportunity, it works best when you engage.
One of the most powerful tools we offer right now is Your Community Over Coffee, a monthly event where members can directly connect with decision-makers and community leaders in a relaxed, conversational setting. You get to hear updates, ask questions, and share what matters most to your business all over a cup of coffee and in the company of your fellow members. It’s just one of the ways we make sure your voice is heard.

We’re also behind the scenes every day, advocating for small business at the local, state, and federal levels, offering marketing and sponsorship opportunities, connecting you with partners and resources, and working to bring more visibility and support to our incredible business community.
The truth is, you get out of your membership what you put into it. The more you show up, the more connections you make, the more programs you explore—the more valuable it becomes. We’re here to walk beside you, champion your success, and help you unlock all that potential.
So let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s make sure your chamber membership works for you.
