“Road To 400” growth plan

After growing significantly over the past several years, the Northside North Shore Chamber is undergoing further expansion in the coming year. The number of chamber members increased by 170% over the past four years to the current roster of 270 dues-paying companies and organizations. In 2023, plans are in place to grow to 400 members!

A larger chamber means more funding to employ more staff and thus do more programming. What does this mean for businesses and the Northside community?

• Promote — More opportunities to promote our members through social media and traditional marketing
• Connect — Increased connections at our smaller networking events (about twice monthly) as well as our larger signature events
• Support — Leading key conversations that affect the whole Northside, such as workforce development, public safety, and tourism

Holiday Gala

After a two-year break, the chamber was pleased to bring back a holiday tradition. At the 2022 Annual Holiday Gala, more than 200 Northside employees, residents and friends gathered to celebrate the season. The event took place on Dec. 1, 2022, at The Priory’s Grand Hall.

The event was a success due to the generous support of dozens of sponsors, auction donors, and volunteers, as well as the chamber’s board of directors and event committee.

Attendees were able to participate in a silent auction and ticketed raffles, have fun at a professional photo booth, make or take screen-printed favors from The Warhol and dance the night away!

Funds raised from the gala support the chamber’s community-focused work in workforce development, public safety, and tourism. There was also an opportunity at the event to present a $1,500 check to Foundation of Hope, the charity beneficiary from the 2022 golf outing.
