Get involved ! Now it ’ s time to start letting people know about your business externally by using your Chamber membership to its fullest . The Hudson Area Chamber has committees and task forces covering a range of business sectors : tourism , industry , retail , emerging leadership , arts and culture , and others . Every one of these committees presents an opportunity to not only connect with fellow members , but develop a relationship and a better understanding of their respective strengths and goals , thereby putting you in a stronger position to effectively help one another .
In addition to a Chamber of Commerce , we are also a Tourism Bureau that coordinates the out of area marketing to attract visitors to the Hudson area , which , in turn , provides a direct economic benefit to the community . Travel and tourism enhance the quality of life in our community by providing jobs , and bringing in tax dollars for improvement of services and infrastructure .
