Who We Are, What We Do....

By definition, a chamber of commerce is “a local organization of businesses whose goal is to further the interests of businesses; to advocate on behalf of the business community.” Behind the definition, the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce is a foundation of passionate people working together to strengthen relationships and our shared community. We do that by facilitating programming and events to build connections; advocating on key legislative issues; and supporting leadership and business recovery efforts in order for you to build your business.

If you are looking for an organization where hundreds of other business professionals want to support you and this community, then look no further! We’d be happy to connect with you and discuss your goals and how the MetroNorth Chamber can help you achieve them.

Be Our Guest! If you would like to visit our Working with Women or Sunrise program and see if we are a good fit for your business, we welcome your visit. Our staff and our Ambassadors will be there to greet you and provide you with the information you need to have a successful visit, including introducing you to other attendees and even making sure you have a place to sit. Our hospitality is second to none! We can't wait to meet you. While pre-registration is not required for either program, feel free to contact us in advance so we can answer any questions you have have, be on the lookout for you, and ensure you have the best possible experience.

Contact us for more information on how to get connected to our award-winning, dynamic organization!

InspireHER Gala

Oct 24 | TPC Twin Cities

InspireHER - a night where we will recognize and celebrate women who are doing amazing work in our shared community.

If you are wondering if this is the Heels for Heroes Gala, you are right...it has been rebranded. The intent is still very much the same – honoring and showcasing women who are making a difference in our shared community. By rebranding we are removing the focus from the heel and instead focusing on the inspiration, which is really what it’s all about. We hope you like the new name and brand as much as we do!

This event wouldn't be possible without sponsorships, and we hope you will consider supporting the program in this fashion. See this flyer for the different levels; register also on our website. Thank you in advance!

The nominations are now officially open, and we need YOU to help us roll out the red carpet! By submitting a nomination, you’re taking the first step in celebrating the contributions of deserving women who inspire us all. But don’t let time slip through your fingers like sand – the deadline is just around the corner on October 1st! So, let’s band together and illuminate the achievements of these phenomenal women before the clock strikes midnight. Join us in making this event a true celebration of empowerment. Click HERE for the nomination form. Please email your completed forms to Delaney at delaney@metronorthchamber.org.

Candidate Information

In order to further our mission of strengthening the business community and to meet our strategic goal of being an information resource on advocacy issues, we invited local candidates to participate in questionnaires. The goal of these questionnaires is to allow our community to learn more about local candidates and their priorities from a business lens. Visit the Candidate Information page to see candidates’ responses!

The MetroNorth Community Resource Guide Available to All

The MetroNorth Community Resource Guide is a publication highlighting the many wonderful aspects of living, working, and playing in the north metro. We encourage everyone to visit the MetroNorth Chamber office (9380 Central Ave NE, Blaine, MN) during normal business hours (M-Th 8-4, F 8-12) to pick up your copy – they are free to take. Also feel free to utilize this digital version. We thank the many advertisers, businesses and community partners who have supported this guide and made it possible.

Big Ideas: A Smashing Success!

Our Big Ideas Career Exploration Hiring Event on May 2nd was a smashing success! The event was jam-packed with exciting activities, from backhoe basketball to mosquito larva. Attendees had a blast while learning valuable career insights, with a few even bringing resumes and setting up interviews on the spot. We're thrilled to have had such a great response and to have shown some of the amazing careers, industries and employers available in the north metro! A huge thank you to all of our vendors who contributed to making this a memorable day. Check out even more fun photos from the day on our Facebook page!

Are You an Employer?

There are many new laws and regulations impacting Minnesota employers. We have crafted a dedicated page on our website, Business Advocacy Updates, with important updates, resources and links.

Economic Development Updates

There is a lot of exciting things happening in the development world in the north metro. Ground breakings for new businesses, expansions, and even some major, much needed transportation projects. For all things expansion-related, the Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED) initiative, of which MetroNorth was a founding partner and current executive committee member, is your go-to resource. For an overview of main road projects, visit the Anoka County Highway Department page and/or MnDOT’s Twin Cities Regional Projects page.

We know that one pending transportation project, the reconstruction of Hwy 65 (slated to begin in 2025), will bring a lot of questions. We have developed a specific page on our website to host updates as they become available. Please check back frequently.

The MetroNorth Chamber is proud to offer impactful leadership resources and programming on a variety of topics to support our businesses.

To learn more, visit the Leadership page on our website to find details and resources.

Free Little Leadership Library
