What Members Say:
"I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and resources provided by the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce. Their dedication to fostering a vibrant business community has been a cornerstone of our success. The connections and opportunities they've facilitated have been invaluable, and I truly appreciate their commitment to helping businesses like ours thrive in the Warrensburg area."
"The Warrensburg Chamber has truly opened my eyes to the passion and dedication of business owners and employees in our community. I've gained valuable insights and practical business tips from experienced professionals. Plus, it has inspired me with new ideas on how and where to give back, helping me make a positive impact in our community."
"Being a member of the Chamber has been transformative for my career and business. Serving on the Chamber Board for 3 years deepened my understanding of our community’s infrastructure, economic landscape, and government relations. This experience allowed me to grow in my own leadership skills, open doors to valuable collaborations, and represent Western Missouri Medical Center and my own business, Revival Clothing and Decor. As a business owner, Chamber membership has brought visibility to my business through ribbon cuttings, networking events, and community-wide initiatives. The Chamber offers incredible networking opportunities and has fostered lifelong friendships and connections that continuously enrich my personal and professional life. I highly encourage anyone looking to grow their business and make a lasting impact to consider joining the Chamber!"
"The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce is a vital partner for the University of Central Missouri. Their commitment to fostering a welcoming, vibrant community is invaluable to UCM, helping us attract top-tier faculty, staff and students to our campus. The Chamber is an indispensable catalyst for economic growth and an advocate for a thriving Warrensburg. Through their initiatives, the Chamber not only strengthens local businesses but also enhances quality of life, making Warrensburg an ideal home for our university community. We deeply appreciate their dedication to building a supportive environment that benefits us all."
"The Chamber has been a huge help to us when it comes to networking. Not only for our agency, but for our Foundation. We have enjoyed the opportunities we’ve had to share our mission and the support we have received from our fellow Chamber members."
"The Chamber has been very helpful with providing assistance in growing and expanding our company’s presence. From allowing us to host business events to promoting new initiatives, the chamber is a valuable resource. The chamber staff is always very helpful and willing to work with our company in whatever way possible."
"Having lived in Warrensburg for 18 years, I have always known the Chamber was a vital key for success for local businesses. When I opened a State Farm Agency in February 2021, becoming a member of the Warrensburg Chamber was first on my list. I’ve not only gained awareness for my business, but have built lasting relationships with fellow members and Chamber staff. It’s a no brainer for any business looking to grow and develop roots within the community."
"Even as a civic member, there is so much to learn and to volunteer in our community."
