What We Do

What we do at the Chamber is assist people in the Detroit Lakes region in meeting the challenges they face with leadership, determination, decision and accomplishment.

Through the Chamber, the people of the Detroit Lakes Region have made it the leading trade center of Becker County and improved the quality of life for all residents.

We are committed to our members, business development, community development, tourism development and our region’s quality of life.
