Board of Directors & Staff

Active membership assures the success of the ALACC and depends on a competent and creative Board of Directors supported by a diligent and dedicated staff.

Members of the Board of Directors are elected yearly with terms of service rotating so the board always contains veterans as well as newcomers. Officers are elected by the board and committee chairs are appointed by the board.

Each year the new president chooses an area of particular interest and sets a theme to that end—always keeping in mind the Chamber mission and the overall Alexandria theme of “Easy to get to, hard to leave.” This motto comprises part of the Chamber logo and echoes the message from the entire Alexandria area.

The Board of Directors works to achieve the highest possible level of prosperity and with the support of a skilled and devoted office staff, boasts one of the strongest and most successful Chambers of Commerce in the state of Minnesota.

Welcome from the Director—Coni McKay

Thank you for visiting the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce via the internet. I am proud of the work of our members and staff to help create notable success and prosperity for the area.

Alexandria remains a strong regional hub for manufacturing, retail, health care, tourism and agriculture. That is due in large part to the nearly 700 Chamber members who continue to work diligently so the organization—and Alexandria—can achieve its ambitious goals and objectives.

Take a few moments to discover all the opportunities Alexandria and the Chamber have to offer to members, residents of the community, business prospects, and visitors.

We welcome questions, suggestions, ideas, and just the opportunity to get to know you! Remember, Alexandria is easy to get to—hard to leave.
