Sponsorships show your support and raise the visibility of your organization.
The Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau views sponsorship as a joint marketing activity involving both the Chamber and a corporate partner. Through sponsorships, the Chamber aims to create and maintain win-win partnerships with our partners. By helping businesses in the area and greater St. Croix Valley area to achieve their marketing objectives through sponsored events, publications and web pages, the Chamber fosters the growth of businesses in our region.
