We're different. How about you? We do economic development--meaning we are the lead economic development organization for St. Joseph County, working with site selectors and partners on business attraction and expansion. We do destination management and marketing--meaning we market our communities to visitors and newcomers. We do workforce and talent--meaning we connect businesses to talent while strengthening and supporting a strong talent ecosystem. On top of this, we are advocates for the prosperity of businesses and our economy. In short, we are problem-solvers. We don't act like a typical chamber of commerce. We punch above our weight class and use the immense talent of our skilled team, partners and member businesses to solve problems and push our region forward.
