OUR HISTORY
Our Past
The Cross Plains Business Men's Association was formed in 1954. The Association has gone through many transitions and much growth over the years. The Association was organized for the purpose of advancing the business and civic interests of the community and has done so for nearly 60 years. As the Cross Plains area has grown and expanded and because the Association was no longer made up of just "businessmen" it was deemed necessary to make a change. More than 50 local business people met for more than a year to finalize this transition to the Cross Plains Area Chamber of Commerce in December 2008.
Our Present
At the Cross Plains Area Chamber of Commerce, we believe people do business with who they know, so we create opportunities for businesses to connect with each other and build business relationships. The CPACC is comprised of approximately 100 local business members who work together for the betterment of our community.
We are passionate about improving our community while we grow healthy businesses. We are a volunteer driven assocationa with a Board of Directors, an Executive Director, and several volunteer committees that work collaboratively to meet our goals and mission.
Our Future
The Cross Plains Area Chamber of Commerce always has the future in sight; whether next month, year or decade. We set goals and layout plans, but know that the road ahead isn't always smooth. We believe in flexibility, creativity, and collaboration to ensure that our future is strong.
