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.”

Owner, Shade Tree Auto

“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.”
Jay Mathes
Community Relations Coordinator
Edencrest at Green Meadows
“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.”

~ Member Testimonial ~
"Becoming a member of the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce was one of the best decisions I have made as a business owner. The connections are priceless. The members of the Urbandale Chamber truly care about you and want to see you succeed. It’s a support system ...that continues to give. The encouragement, engagement and wealth of knowledge that makes up the Chamber is phenomenal. I have felt lifted and supported the entire time here at the Urbandale Chamber.
It amazes me the size of the Chamber because it has that small town, supportive feel. You walk into a room and are greeted by multiple people who truly care and are interested in how they can support you.
My first piece of advice to any new or seasoned business owner is to join the Urbandale Chamber, the benefits are priceless."
✨ Jane, we are so glad to hear that being a member has been a positive experience for you and that you have found value in the connections, encouragement, and support provided by the chamber!
