April 15, 2026

As we head into another exciting summer season, there are more opportunities than ever for you to showcase your business and connect with both visitors and new residents discovering our area.


This is the final week to confirm your ad placement in the 2026–2027 Vacation & Relocation Guide—a powerful, cost-effective way to promote your brand. With distribution reaching across the entire Grand Lake region and extending into Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas, this guide puts your business directly in front of travelers and individuals considering making our community home.


In addition, our calendar is packed with events, programs, and networking opportunities designed to help you engage with fellow members and increase your visibility. Whether you’re attending, sponsoring, or participating, these moments are where connections turn into growth.


Membership in a Chamber of Commerce offers measurable value for businesses looking to grow and build trust. Studies show that 63% of consumers are more likely to purchase from a chamber member, while 57% believe members use good business practices and 44% have a more positive perception of businesses involved in their local chamber. Beyond credibility, chamber membership drives visibility and connections, with many businesses joining specifically for networking opportunities that lead to referrals and partnerships. Chambers also serve as powerful marketing platforms, helping members reach thousands of potential customers through directories, events, and sponsorships. Altogether, being part of a chamber signals that a business is reputable, community-minded, and committed to long-term success.


Remember, your membership becomes more valuable the more you plug in. Take advantage of these opportunities to highlight what makes your business unique—we’re here to help you succeed every step of the way.


We look forward to seeing you involved and thriving!


Call us if we can help in anyway.


Have a great week,

~ Amanda
