Hear what our members have to say
“When I became a new citizen, pastor, and young professional of Vermillion in June 2021, the first place I turned to was the Chamber. I was immediately greeted with warmth and excitement for our presence in the community. Since then, I’ve benefited greatly from the Vermillion NEXT community, the Chamber’s resourcing and networking, and professional development opportunities. I couldn’t recommend being a chamber member enough!”
— Jake Thurston, Lead Pastor at Resilient Church
“Thanks to the support of the Chamber, my travel agency business has increased tremendously since July 2023 when I first joined. Being able to network and connect with all the other professionals and members of the community is invaluable to me because I am able to gain new ideas for my business and learn from others in the community."
— Mark Krebs, 72 & Sunny Travel
“We are so lucky to be part of such a wonderful community here in Vermillion that has supported us from the very beginning. The Vermillion Area Chamber & Development Company leads the effort by providing resources and trainings, along with the continued connection with other small businesses and an energetic community events calendar.”
