TOTAL RESOURCE CAMPAIGN (TRC) 2025
written by Jamie Anderson, Sr. Director of Membership & Partnerships, Ankeny Area Chamber of Commerce
Tis the season to show your family, friends, and those you love how much you appreciate and care for them! We truly appreciate the supportive business and Chamber community and wish everyone well during the Holiday season!
Every year the Chamber relies on our incredible volunteers during the Total Resource Campaign (TRC), which is an eight-week volunteer campaign to attract new members and secure business sponsors for Chamber programs, events, digital media, and publications. We typically have around 25 amazing Chamber member volunteers who foster great business relationships with other members and potential members. TRC is a great way for volunteers to meet our area’s top community leaders and business owners while working directly with many of the Chamber’s most dedicated leadership. Volunteers assist companies with choosing options best suited to meet their marketing needs. Membership and Sponsorships make it possible to raise the funds to sustain programs for business development, community improvement, and member services.
The Ankeny Area Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to the promotion and development of our members within the community. The Chamber is one of the most active and influential business organizations in the Des Moines metro. Since 1951 the Chamber has been the champion of area business and has worked tirelessly to promote our members and community. We have over 940 businesses as members and host over 100 events each year to promote businesses and provide educational and networking opportunities to our membership.
Sponsorships are a win-win opportunity for both the Chamber business and our organization. From a business standpoint, Chamber sponsorships are a cost-effective way to market to a business-oriented audience. The Chamber’s programs, events, publications, and electronic media are ideal vehicles for promoting the products and services of our business partners.
Our volunteer team is composed of some of the most successful individuals in the Ankeny area and is supported by a professional, knowledgeable staff to assist.
The campaign provides a great opportunity for the volunteers to meet other business and community leaders while improving sales and presentation skills; become knowledgeable about the important work of the Chamber; and impact community initiatives.
Without our volunteers and the sponsorships they solidify, the Chamber would not be able to offer the events and programming that we strive to provide for our members and community. We are extremely grateful for the dedication of the volunteers and of our members whose sponsorships make an important impact on the Chamber, while promoting their businesses.
If your business is interested in Chamber membership and sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to Jamie Anderson at janderson@ankeny.org. We would be happy to connect you with a Chamber volunteer!
