September is Chamber of Commerce Month in Wisconsin

WAUSAU — The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce is excited to celebrate Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Month. Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) – the state chamber of commerce – declared September as Chamber of Commerce Month and the local Chamber will spend the entire month bringing attention to the services it provides to members and our community.

“Local chambers lead the charge in community growth and are at the forefront of local business development and connection,” shared Dave Eckmann, President/CEO of the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce and Past Chair of the Wisconsin Chambers of Commerce Executives (WCCE). “Chamber of Commerce Month is a great opportunity to recognize their dedication to our state’s overall success.”

Wisconsin is home to more than 265 local chambers, which strengthen the economy, advocate for businesses large and small, provide resources to professionals and connect local communities.

Gov. Tony Evers, at the request of the WCCE, a division of WMC, recently proclaimed September as Chamber of Commerce Month in Wisconsin.

To celebrate Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Month, the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce will host a Fun@5 networking event at The Dirks Group in Rib Mountain. The Chamber is also hosting several ribbon cuttings this month, along with a sold out Next Wave program for young professionals on Thursday, September 5. For more information on any of these events, visit WausauChamber.com.

The Annual Meeting will also include the debut of the first in a series of five videos produced to highlight central Wisconsin’s workforce challenges and detail how the Chamber is leading the reinvention of the region.
