As we close out 2024, it’s great to think about all the Chamber can offer your business in 2025. Our Total Resource Campaign is up & running, & now is the time to enjoy the benefits of the Chamber at the next level!
We are so grateful for our current 6 investor members & asked them for their thoughts on the Ankeny Chamber:
“I have been a chamber member for over 25 years & an investor member since the inception of that benefit 20 years ago. No matter what stage of business or life I was in, the chamber always stepped up & had something to offer my business.” -Trent Murphy of Murphy Enterprizes

“The Ankeny Chamber of Commerce has such a huge impact on local businesses & the quality of life in our community. They provide valuable marketing & networking opportunities to its many members & prove how unified our business community is in making Ankeny the best place to work & live.

Over time, my return on investment with the chamber has changed & has looked very different throughout that time. The chamber has also been an asset to me personally & has given my family a way to get involved & build wonderful relationships in the community. My business investment has been a no-brainer, & I hope the Ankeny Chamber can benefit your business in some way.
In 2025, we will have a variety of exciting networking, sponsorship & learning opportunities. Don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team looks forward to speaking with you about all the chamber has to offer in 2025.
