Indianola, IA – The Indianola Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that its President and CEO, Amanda Zwanziger, has been appointed to serve on the board of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, a leading regional economic and community development organization. The Partnership represents more than 6,500 businesses and 24 affiliate chambers across Central Iowa, working to promote economic growth, enhance quality of life, and position the region as a top destination for business, talent, and visitors.
Indianola has long benefited from its relationship with the Greater Des Moines Partnership through collaborative efforts in economic development, chamber affiliation, workforce development, and tourism promotion.
The Board of Directors at the Indianola Chamber of Commerce believe this appointment will build upon this strong foundation. “Amanda’s is a visionary and strong leader, her appointment to the board provides an exciting opportunity to further advocate and innovate, not only for the region, but for Indianola and Warren County,” said Gretchen Schrock, Chair of the Indianola Chamber of Commerce Board. “We look forward to having a seat at the leadership table of this regional partnership.”
Zwanziger’s appointment ensures that communities of Indianola’s size are well-represented in regional decision-making. “It’s essential that communities like Indianola, with our unique challenges and opportunities, have a voice at the table,” said Zwanziger. “As the second fastest growing and second wealthiest county in the state, Warren County is key driver of growth and attraction to the region. It is important that regionally we are strategically looking at the role that the county plays, now and into the future.”
In addition to regional strategies, Zwanziger is looking forward to continuing to build upon the benefits that the affiliate membership to the Greater Des Moines Partnership provides to the members of the Indianola Chamber. “I am especially excited to continue working alongside peers and partners I’ve already been collaborating with through the Partnership to deliver valuable affiliate benefits to our Chamber members, said Zwanziger. “Together, we can enhance the resources available to local businesses and ensure a thriving future for Indianola and the entire region.”
