Excellence in Business Awards
Thurs, March 20 | 12 pm | Bunker Hills
Celebrate the successes of fellow MetroNorth members at our Excellence in Business Awards Luncheon! Nominations closed at the end of February and we are getting ready to announce the finalists, with the winners being revealed at the March 20 luncheon.
Business professionals looking to stand out and elevate their careers won’t want to miss The Intangible It from our keynote speaker, Jack Stahlmann. This engaging session breaks down the mysterious “it” factor that makes Hollywood’s biggest stars so magnetic—and how you can apply those same principles to thrive in your own profession.
Through humorous stories from his Tinseltown adventures, Jack will reveal practical strategies for building influence and making lasting impressions. You’ll learn about The Gift—the secret to making every interaction meaningful, just like George Clooney. The Shift will uncover the key to Tom Hanks’ enduring success, offering insights on adaptability and longevity in your career. And The Connect will explore simple yet powerful ways to be more memorable—sometimes, it’s as easy as a Dolly Parton T-shirt.
This keynote delivers the perfect mix of entertainment and actionable insights, ensuring you leave with both a good laugh and practical tools to enhance your professional presence and impact.

The MetroNorth Community Resource Guide Available to AllThe MetroNorth Community Resource Guide is a publication highlighting the many wonderful aspects of living, working, and playing in the north metro. We encourage
everyone to visit the MetroNorth Chamber office (9380 Central Ave NE, Blaine, MN) during normal business hours (M-Th 8-4, F 8-12) to pick up your copy – they are free to take. Also feel free to utilize this digital version. We thank the many advertisers, businesses and community partners who have supported this guide and made it possible.
Are You an Employer?
There are many new laws and regulations impacting Minnesota employers. We have crafted a dedicated page on our website, Business Advocacy Updates, with important updates, resources and links.
Economic Development Updates
There is a lot of exciting things happening in the development world in the north metro. Ground breakings for new businesses, expansions, and even some major, much needed transportation projects. For all things expansion-related, the Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED) initiative, of which MetroNorth was a founding partner and current executive committee member, is your go-to resource. For an overview of main road projects, visit the Anoka County Highway Department page and/or MnDOT’s Twin Cities Regional Projects page.
We know that one pending transportation project, the reconstruction of Hwy 65 (slated to begin in 2025), will bring a lot of questions. We have developed a specific page on our website to host updates as they become available. Please check back frequently.
Leadership Resources
The MetroNorth Chamber is proud to offer impactful leadership resources and programming on a variety of topics to support our businesses.
To learn more, visit the Leadership page on our website to find details and resources.
Free Little Leadership Library

Who We Are, What We Do....
By definition, a chamber of commerce is “a local organization of businesses whose goal is to further the interests of businesses; to advocate on behalf of the business community.” Behind the definition, the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce is a foundation of passionate people working together to strengthen relationships and our shared community. We do that by facilitating programming and events to build connections; advocating on key legislative issues; and supporting leadership and business recovery efforts in order for you to build your business.
If you are looking for an organization where hundreds of other business professionals want to support you and this community, then look no further! We’d be happy to connect with you and discuss your goals and how the MetroNorth Chamber can help you achieve them.
Be Our Guest! If you would like to visit our Working with Women or Sunrise program and see if we are a good fit for your business, we welcome your visit. Our staff and our Ambassadors will be there to greet you and provide you with the information you need to have a successful visit, including introducing you to other attendees and even making sure you have a place to sit. Our hospitality is second to none! We can't wait to meet you. While pre-registration is not required for either program, feel free to contact us in advance so we can answer any questions you have have, be on the lookout for you, and ensure you have the best possible experience.
