Chamber Business

In 1995, the Henderson Commercial Club sought new direction and focus. With the commitment of the full membership, the Commercial Club moved to become the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. The goals of the new Chamber were to 1) promote and support established businesses, 2) recruit new businesses and 3) broaden the membership base to include more area businesses and ag producers.

The Chamber is the only organization devoted entirely to developing, protecting and expanding the economy of the Henderson area. Consider your dues an investment in the community and your own business.

The Chamber Executive Director is Kelsey Bergen and she is located in City Hall and works closely with the chamber board of directors, chamber members, city clerk and city officials for the benefit of the community.

The Chamber helps organize events throughout the year in the community. In February, the Chamber hosts the Homeshow that is held at the school and provides businesses local and out-of-town to showcase their businesses and/or services.

The Christian Music Festival is held the first week of June.

The biggest event for the Chamber is organizing the Community Days which is held the second weekend in July starting on that Friday and going through a Sunday Church Service in the park. The Community Days has many events including a parade, annual car show, farmers market, entertainment and a Saturday night barbeque and speaker.

This past year the Chamber kicked off the first Farmer's Market on Tuesday nights starting in June and continuing through the summer. Thanks to everyone inside and outside of the community - this was a big success and much appreciated by all.

There is an annual banquet held in January to show community appreciation for all ages.
