This branch of the Orange City Chamber of Commerce is a networking organization with a simple agenda: to enrich our community by uniting and developing the next generation of leaders and citizens.

We’re interested in people in their early 20’s to early 40’s who live, work, play, or go to church in the Orange City and Alton area. We want those who will invest in their own future and that of the community, whether that be the vital and tireless work of a stay-at-home mom or the ambitions of an aspiring CEO. As long as you believe in working toward the betterment of our community, we’d love to have you join us.

We know that we are the future of Orange City. It’s time for us to step up to the plate and participate in the leadership and direction of business, government, and non-profit organizations. It’s time for us to move from the sidelines and onto the field of community involvement. If we want to remain a vibrant, thriving community, that foundation needs to be laid now. This group provides the forum and the structure for these things to take place. It also provides a place for relationship-building and networking, and will help to attract and retain talent to Orange City.

To accomplish these ends, our group focuses on the following four areas:

• Personal and professional development
• Social and business networking
• Philanthropy
• Civic involvement

The group was designed to create a platform for members to socialize and build relationships, develop personally and professionally, become politically and philanthropically active, and contribute to the economic and high quality living in the Orange City area.

What does all this cost? A mere $50 per household, but don’t think of it as a cost. Consider your $50 as an investment into a group whose purpose is to make Orange City a better place to live for us and for our families, to give you more opportunities to connect, engage, give back, and be successful.
