HERMANTOWN — Business advocacy, connection and trying new things were the themes running through the Hermantown Area Chamber of Commerce annual meeting on Thursday. About 70 people gathered at the AAD Shrine to recognize chamber members and officers for their work throughout the year and hear from the president of the Minnesota Retailers Association.
Chamber President and CEO Kim Parmeter gave an update on the chamber and reminded everyone of their reason for being there that day.
“Our chamber was formed to provide our members with advocacy, educational resources and networking opportunities that help businesses grow and thrive in our area,” Parmeter said. “We have approximately 275 members in our chamber in Hermantown, Duluth, Proctor, Rice Lake and the surrounding areas. We’re on a mission to be the voice of business by connecting, educating and supporting members where they are in their communities.”
