2023 brought a whirlwind of change and growth through this office, as we transitioned into providing the services and identity of the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, which dissolved at the end of 2022. Maintaining the spirit of holistic services through Ellsworth County Economic Development and member-based enrichment services through our “chamber” division was an opportunity for us to provide more robust services to our business community, and understand their operational needs from a new perspective. What we learned from our first year operating two umbrellas of service under one is reflected in our 2024 member benefit listing. We are honored to be able to provide our business community with a list of enhancements that can provide the networking, development, marketing, and support to continue to GROW and prosper, and we hope you will join us in 2024 as a member. Your membership dollars allow us to continue to offer the additional services and opportunities such as those listed in this report. As times change, we must also adapt. And so we are. We have ideas on the horizon for 2024 to assist your business in ways that suit our community’s current business demands, including innovative digital marketing, succession planning, and new ways of networking, marketing, and economizing. We are excited about our 2023 accomplishments, and can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.

 

Becoming a member means investing in the network of work that we are doing for our businesses and community partners.  2024 Membership will open December 1, 2023 and will close on February 29, 2024.  We do not accept members past the membership drive.  We want you to receive the most of your benefits and we operate on a calendar year.
