CHAMBER NEWS
Premier Partners — Making a Difference in Our Metro Premier Partners are an elite group of businesses that recognize the importance of economic development efforts and make a significant commitment to the health of the region. Premier Partners give above and beyond their initial Chamber dues investment through sponsorship and marketing dollars to support the work we do. Premier Partners fall into two levels: Community Builders and Business Builders.
In return for this increased support, Premier Partners receive a unique set of privileges and benefits that enhance their business. From increased exposure to heightened networking, Premier Partners gain access to an extensive network of businesses and professionals. Through partnership with The Chamber and their fellow members, Premier Partners make a positive difference for our metro.
Welcome to our newest Business Builder! Bank of North Dakota is an agile partner that creates financial solutions to current and emerging economic needs. Through student loans or loans for entrepreneurs, infrastructure support, agriculture or business expansion, BND strives to make North Dakota better. As a state agency, they partner with stakeholders that include bankers, economic developers, legislators and state agencies to fulfill its mission "to promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota." The Bank provides student loans directly, but the majority of other loans are obtained by visiting with a local lender who will access BND programs when it benefits the client.
