Adel Chamber Q&A

Why should someone join your Chamber?

Adel is small vibrant community that is experiencing continued growth. As of January 2017, we have brought the Adel Developers into the Chamber. The Adel Partners Chamber has made a commitment to help Adel continue to grow both with existing businesses and finding our commercial gaps and needed growth.

 

What is your Chamber’s biggest accomplishment in the past 12 months? 

Joining the Greater Des Moines Partnership along with continuing to develop our five strategic initiatives. Our #ThinkAdelFirst campaign to highlight businesses and all they offer in Adel has been very successful. Each week we use digital media to showcase a business letting our residents know they can find their needs in Adel first.

 

Any initiative or project that you are looking forward to in 2017?

We will continue to work with our commercial partners to grow and develop in Adel. We will continue to watch for exciting announcements in Adel. #ThinkAdelFirst is an ongoing campaign we plan to continue through 2017. The second half of the year we will be doing more Facebook live and videos to remind our resident to #ThinkAdelFirst.
