Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to YOUR Chamber of Commerce! This energetic organization is made up of over 800 businesses with forward thinking owners, managers and employees. The vitality of this organization has changed drastically over the past five years and it is exciting to see where the business community and this non-profit organization projects go in the next five years.

As a business in this growing community I encourage you to get involved.

You will find it is convenient, easy and rewarding to get involved in this business community. Whether you like golf, community celebrations or legislative action; you will meet fellow business leaders with the same passion that you possess.

Just contact any one of the five full time professionals who are just a click of your mouse or a telephone call away.

The professional and forward thinking leadership of the Ankeny Area Chamber has made this business community a leader in the state and region. The Ankeny area business leaders are happy to share their stories of business successes and trials that have helped shape their success.
