Indianola Chamber Champions Announcement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Indianola, IA, November 12, 2024 – The Indianola Chamber of Commerce is excited to unveil the Chamber Champions program, a new initiative designed to harness the unique talents of Indianola Chamber members and empower them as leaders within the local business community.
“We are proud to launch the Chamber Champions program, which reflects our commitment to activating the expertise of our members and enriching the Indianola business community,” said Amanda Zwanziger, President and CEO of Indianola Chamber of Commerce. “This program is a cornerstone for future growth and engagement, ensuring our members not only thrive but also have opportunities to lead.”
The Chamber Champions program is organized into five strategic tiers: Ambassadorship, Growth, Promotion, Volunteerism, and Participation. Each tier is crafted to engage members at different levels of involvement, from representing the chamber at public events, leading committee work, and promoting the Indianola community, the Chamber and its members. In addition, participants will be encouraged to create a supportive and connected business environment, which includes developing relationships with new businesses in our community.
“Our Chamber Champions are not just leaders; they are mentors and navigators for new businesses entering our community,” said Zwanziger. “By helping them to navigate challenges, identify resources, and plan for business success, our Champions will play a crucial role in building a resilient and thriving business landscape.”
