Chamber News & Events

Welcome New Member Boho Belle Boutique!


Meet Amber!


I’m Amber, the owner of Boho Belle Boutique! I started Boho Belle in May of 2024 as an online boutique, never imagining how quickly it would grow.


In February of 2025, I opened my first storefront in Shawano, and now we’ve officially opened our second location right here in Clintonville—my hometown!


Boho Belle is a women’s clothing boutique carrying sizes XS–3X, along with accessories and shoes.


My goal has always been to create a fun, welcoming place where women of all ages, styles, and sizes can walk in and find something that makes them feel confident and beautiful.


I’m 31, a wife and mom of three, and building this business has truly been one of the craziest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Opening a store in the community I grew up in feels incredibly full-circle, and I’m so excited to be a part of Clintonville and everything this community has to offer!

 

I’m so grateful for the warm welcome we’ve already received and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for Boho Belle!

Introducing A New Health Insurance Option for Chamber Members


As healthcare costs continue to rise, employers are looking for new ways to provide competitive health benefits while gaining more control over their costs.


Through a partnership between the state chamber of commerce, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), and Diversified Benefit Services (DBS), Chamber members now have access to an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) solution.


An ICHRA allows employers to provide employees with a defined, tax-free monthly contribution that employees can use toward the purchase of their own individual health insurance coverage. This approach can provide employers with greater cost predictability and flexibility while giving employees more choice in selecting coverage that works for them and their families.


Chamber members also have access to preferred pricing through this program:

  • Exclusive 5% discount on DBS's monthly ICHRA administration fees through the WMC program.
  • 50% off first-year ICHRA setup fees for employers who are members of the Clintonville Area Chamber.


Whether you are facing a significant health insurance renewal, considering offering benefits for the first time, or simply want to understand what alternatives are available, we encourage you to explore whether an ICHRA could be a good fit for your organization.
