For many years, you've known us as the West Union Main Street Chamber. We are incredibly proud of our history, our strong partnerships, and the countless people who have invested their time and energy into supporting our local businesses and downtown improvements.

But as our President, Chris DeBack, shared at today's bowling tournament, West Union is more than one street, more than one district, and more than one group of people. Our community is strongest when everyone feels included in where we are headed.

That is why we are thrilled to officially announce our new name and our new chapter: West Union Together: Main Street & Beyond!

Together matters because true progress happens when businesses, residents, schools, organizations, volunteers, and local leaders all work side-by-side.

Main Street & Beyond matters because while our downtown remains incredibly important, our vision reaches further across the whole community into future opportunities, new partnerships, and new ideas.

As part of this exciting new chapter, we are also embracing a new "All-In" philosophy. Moving forward, we are shifting away from having "members" who pay dues for services. Instead, we are looking for Partners who want to invest in the economic vitality and future of our entire city!

Watch Chris's full announcement below, and thank you for being part of our story and helping move West Union forward! 🎳
