A new chapter for NHACC-
I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new President of the New Holstein Area Chamber of Commerce. As I step into this role, I want to begin by extending a sincere thank you to the past presidents, board members, and volunteers who have dedicated their time, energy, and passion to strengthening our Chamber and supporting our community.
Their leadership has laid a strong foundation, and we are truly grateful for the work they have done. This year also marks a milestone moment for our organization. For the first time in the Chamber’s history, our officer team is made up entirely of women. We are proud of this achievement and even more excited about the opportunity to continue growing the Chamber through collaboration, creativity, and community connection.
As we look ahead to the year, we are excited to introduce some new events designed to bring people together while supporting the Chamber’s mission. This year, we will be hosting Meat Raffles and a Firecracker Raffle, offering new opportunities for community involvement and fun. At the same time, we are proud to continue many of the events that have become cherished traditions in New Holstein.
These include the Fireman’s Parade, Golf Outing, Country Christmas, Cow Town Go-Around, the Twinkling of Lights, and the Christmas Parade. These events reflect the spirit of our community and are a reminder of how important connection and tradition are to the place we call home.
Beyond events, the Chamber of Commerce plays an important role in supporting and advocating for local businesses. The Chamber works to promote member businesses, encourage shopping local, and create opportunities for business owners to connect, collaborate, and grow. By working together, businesses are stronger, more visible, and better equipped to succeed. The Chamber also serves as a bridge between businesses, community organizations, and local leadership. Whether it’s supporting economic development, welcoming new businesses to the community, or helping promote community improvement initiatives, the Chamber helps ensure New Holstein continues to be a welcoming and thriving place for residents and visitors alike.
A strong Chamber means a strong community. When businesses are supported, jobs are created, community events thrive, and local pride grows. Everything the Chamber does is centered around strengthening New Holstein today while investing in its future. We invite local businesses, organizations, and individuals to consider becoming part of the New Holstein Area Chamber of Commerce.
Membership offers visibility, networking opportunities, and a meaningful way to give back to the community. New members bring fresh ideas, energy, and perspectives that help keep the Chamber strong and growing. Whether you’re a long-time business owner or new to the area, there is a place for you at the Chamber.
As always, we are looking for new ideas, new energy, and new ways to serve our members and the community. If you have an idea for an event, a program, or a partnership, we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your continued support of the New Holstein Area Chamber of Commerce. I’m looking forward to an exciting year ahead and working together to keep New Holstein vibrant, connected, and strong.
