Business After Hours at Fairfield Inn & Suites

Last week, we had the pleasure of gathering for Business After Hours at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Northfield. The evening provided a great opportunity for local business professionals to connect, strengthen relationships, and learn more about one of our valued Chamber members.

Guests enjoyed sampling a selection of summer menu offerings from the Riverside Bar & Kitchen, along with time to relax and connect on the hotel’s beautiful patio.

Thank you to Fairfield Inn & Suites for being such wonderful hosts and for continuing to support and engage with our local business community!

Leadership Northfield: Developing Leaders.

Building Connections.

Strengthening Our Community.

Great communities are shaped by informed, connected people who are ready to lead.

Leadership Northfield is a nine-month experience that gives emerging and established leaders a behind-the-scenes look at the businesses, organizations, people and issues shaping Northfield. Through engaging monthly sessions, participants build valuable relationships, strengthen their leadership skills and gain a deeper understanding of our community. For employers, it’s an opportunity to invest in a promising employee, expand their network and prepare them for greater leadership within your organization and our community. Invest in a leader. Connect them to Northfield.

Our 6th year begins on Wednesday, October 21. Please contact Janeb@northfieldchamber.com to inquire, register, or ask a question.

Stock Up on Visitor Materials

With a busy few weeks ahead—including Defeat of Jesse James Days and college move-in at St. Olaf and Carleton—now is a great time to make sure your business has plenty of visitor materials on hand. We have Visit Northfield visitor guides, Northfield maps, and Defeat of Jesse James Days brochures available for businesses. Stop by the Chamber office to pick up materials, or let us know if you’d like us to drop them off at your business!
