Eden Prairie Chamber Of Commerce

Public policy - the chamber advocates on behalf of its business members on local, county, state and federal issues. In 2024, we were very active with meeting with elected officials and sharing our businesses concerns and issues with them particularly the impact of new laws related to paid time off benefits the state was mandating. We also held a candidate forum/debate that we recorded and shared with our members and the public.

Community building - in 2024, the chamber continued to publish our directory and community guide into one publication. This publication is being distributed through direct mail, chamber events, hotels, the city offices and at our school districts welcome center. The chamber continues its efforts in building a strong community including giving out another $3,000 in scholarships to help further the education of two local students. We also continued to have our future leaders/student membership program with high school seniors learning valuable business skills. As the first chamber in the nation to offer this unique opportunity for students, our program has helped young entrepreneurs and business people learn how to network, engage, do business, and even dress properly in the "real world." we held our spring expo to help showcase our businesses to local residents.
