  • The Chamber desires to also take political action, where appropriate and needed, to represent issues that affect the City of Isle and the South Mille Lacs area.  We seek to be the voice of business for our area.  We seek to work in cooperation with other Chambers and area organizations in an alliance to make our voice more strongly heard at the State and Federal government levels.  Where appropriate, we take stands on issues that affect business such as mandated health care and workers compensation reform.
