Tell Your Legislators to Support Small Business!

With just days left in session, it’s important that you urge your legislators to VOTE NO on a bill that would hurt small businesses by doubling the automatic minimum wage increases each year.

 

The bill, SF 3852, would hurt small business by:

  • Removing the small business designation in the state’s minimum wage law.
  •  
  • Doubling the automatic minimum wage increases from 2.5% annually to 5%.
  •  
  • Increasing the costs of doing business in Minnesota and increasing costs for consumers. 

Contact your legislators TODAY and urge them to VOTE NO on SF 3852 that will hurt Minnesota small businesses.

Chamber E-Connection Guidelines & Policies

Newsletter Goals & Audience


The purpose of the Chamber E-Connection newsletter is to share our member's events with other business and community members. It's an informational newsletter and helps to promote our member businesses and their events. Each Friday, our newsletter is sent to over 1,500 individuals. Our separate emails are sent to the same list, but are held especially for our Chamber events and Business After Hours.


Newsletter Policy


E-Connection events are included based on the requests from the member business. The following criteria are requested by the Marshall Area Chamber for event submissions:


*Event flyers or submissions must be an actual event. We don't include sales or promotions.

*Events can be included in the E-Connection for one week free of charge. You have the option of adding one additional week for $20.

*Submissions to be included must be sent the Wednesday prior to that Friday's E-Connection - they can be emailed to chamber@marshallmn.org.

*All event flyers are for Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce members only.
