History
The Greater North Dakota Association was founded in 1924. A year later, the North Dakota Automobile Association merged with GNDA. The combined organization set out to attract tourists and settlers. They made plans to improve the state's highways and establish a national park in the Badlands. They also worked to promote agriculture.
In 2004, GNDA changed their name to the Greater North Dakota Chamber of Commerce. The change was made to eliminate the confusion for those unaware that the organization is the state chamber of commerce. This name more accurately reflects what the organization is.
Today, nearly 1,100 businesses are members of the state chamber of commerce. We continually strive to enhance North Dakota's business climate through efforts like the New Economy Initiative. We create and fight for public policy initiatives and state and federal legislation that is pro-business. We support and develop programs and services that help improve and strengthen North Dakota businesses. We have created economic development initiatives to create new jobs and new wealth in North Dakota. We promote North Dakota's image as an outstanding place to live, work and do business. Above all, the North Dakota Chamber of Commerce unites the North Dakota business community on vital business issues.
