Chamber Launches Intercity Visit
This summer the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce introduced the Chamber Intercity Visit for an opportunity to learn best practices, develop ideas, and connect with business and public leadership from another community in our region. The inaugural Intercity Visit was hosted in partnership with the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce and included a delegation of leaders in business and government traveling to each community for experiences and discussions of policy, key development projects, and community challenges and highlights. Thank you to the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce for their partnership and each respective community’s delegation that committed their time and involvement to the new Chamber Intercity Visit. The Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce team will look forward to future installments in the Chamber Intercity Visit initiative in the years ahead. Stay tuned for more details about Intercity Visit in the upcoming October Advantage issue!
