Urbandale chamber receives 5-star accreditation
The Urbandale Chamber of Commerce was presented with a 5-star accreditation by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. The award was presented during the Greater Des Moines Partnership’s Congressional Leadership Briefing & Luncheon in Washington, D.C. The award, which places the Urbandale Chamber among the top 1 percent of chambers nationally, recognizes the organization’s operations, programming and service to its members and community. Just 102 chambers nationally carry the 5-star accreditation. In Iowa, there are three accredited chambers of commerce: Urbandale and Burlington are five-star chambers and Marshalltown has four-star accreditation.
