Welcome to the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce’s September 2026 Quarterly Newsletter!

It was a busy summer in Clear Lake, and this issue is packed with highlights from a season full of community celebrations, connections and Chamber programs. From celebrating America’s 250th during our July 4th Celebration to another successful season of Thursdays on Main, TRI Clear Lake and the launch of a new Lake Leadership class, there’s plenty to catch up on.

Inside, you’ll also find updates on upcoming Chamber events and educational opportunities, a Member Spotlight featuring Stephany Insurance, highlights from the Educators Appreciation Breakfast and North Iowa Business Connection Day, and statewide recognition for our Social Media Power Hour program. Plus, my latest Get Weiss: Making the Most of Your Chamber Benefits column takes a look at one of the questions we hear often: How can the Chamber help promote your event?

Whether you’re looking to stay connected, learn about opportunities available through your membership or simply catch up on what’s been happening around Clear Lake, we hope you’ll enjoy this edition of our Quarterly Newsletter.

As always, thank you for your continued support of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Have an idea for a future story or Member Spotlight? I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out to Membership Engagement Director Ashley Weiss at ashley@clearlakeiowa.com.
