The Minnesota Chamber’s 2025 Statewide Policy Tour is your opportunity to hear how recent legislative actions will impact your business. The Chamber's policy experts will break down what passed, what didn’t, and what it means for Minnesota’s and your business. Key priorities for the business community include the passage of a responsible budget, environmental permitting reform and modifications to workplace mandates, among other issues. Learn how the Legislature responded to the input of businesses across the state.

Thank you to Lakeville Works Catalyst donor BTD for your support of the program! If you have a passion for workforce development, check out what we have been up to and reach out to me on ways to participate!

If you have not connected with APG Media, and you would like to purchase an ad in the annual directory/community guide, reach out to Kristine soon. Sales will wrap up in the next couple of weeks. This goes out to 3,500 businesses/homes each year and is the single largest outreach we do to area residents, aside from the community expo in March.

If you did not make it to the home & community expo this spring, or you have been putting off reaching out to someone you met there, this is a friendly reminder that our show page is on the website all year long. See all of the vendors HERE.

Well, the Chamber team was of no use the rest of that day – all we wanted to do was hang out in that gorgeous model and dream about how we would decorate it. Thank you to Joey Miller and the team at Country Joe Homes for your continued support of the Chamber, and many other local non-profits!
