  • A LITTLE BACKGROUND: 

    The Greater North Dakota Chamber began as The Greater North Dakota Association (GNDA), which was founded in 1924 to attract tourists and settlers. As the state grew in population and as business and industry flourished, GNDA’s main objective changed to advocating for an environment that helped businesses succeed. In 2004, the GNDA changed its name to the Greater North Dakota Chamber. Our priority to create the strongest business climate in the nation did not change.
