What Businesses Are Saying About The Urbandale Chamber
“Shade Tree Auto joined the Urbandale chamber as a small, unknown auto shop shortly after we opened our doors 12 years ago. Despite the size of the organization, we always felt welcomed at any of the events we were able to attend. Over the years, I found out that being a chamber member to attract customers was only a fraction of the value of our membership. We were introduced to businesses and educational opportunities that helped us grow our company, and peers that motivated us to become the shop that we are today.”

“A business owner once asked me what I liked about the Urbandale Chamber, and without hesitation I told him it was the endless relationships I have acquired over the past five years. I can even call a few of those relationships really good friends now. There’s no way I can quantify how much value I have received from my membership, and I couldn’t imagine ever not being a member. With that, I will always be a member of the Urbandale Chamber.”

Community Relations Coordinator

“The Urbandale Chamber of Commerce has been very valuable in helping us to gain information about types of available financial assistance, new rules and regulations, the most updated coronavirus information, and ways in which we can continue to improve. They have also helped us to make connections with other like-minded business owners in our area. It is nice to know there is somebody we can contact when we have questions or are seeking information or a sounding board for ideas.“

“Van Meter has been able to grow to become Iowa’s largest electrical distributor, and the 28th largest in the US, doing business in all 50 states. That being said, one of our core values is our place in the community. The Urbandale Chamber of Commerce helps our local employee owners make a difference in the places we work and live.”

This year, we'll be inducting two outstanding Urbandale citizens into the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame. Audrey DeCarlo will be honored at Sample Urbandale, A Celebration of Business tomorrow, September 21st.
Through the years, Audrey was always in the front row of ...whatever stadium, court or field her beloved J-Hawks were playing; she was known for cheering the loudest, with her big, bright smile. Those who knew Audrey know the influential and supportive role she played for the community. She never missed a chance to support Urbandale activities including United Church of Christ, Urbandale Historical Society, the Urbandale Alumni Association, and most certainly the Fourth of July celebration, where on parade day she sat at the same corner year after year.
We're honored to award the Audrey DeCarlo as a 2023 Hall of Fame inductee.
