The mission of the Greater Cedar Valley Alliance & Chamber is to increase economic vitality and wealth by leading collaborative economic and community development.

The strategies to execute our mission are focused in these key areas: Workforce & Talent; Regional Economic Development; and Regional Advocacy & Promotion. Please support our important work to make the Cedar Valley an even better, more productive place to do business.
2 REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The core of our work is supporting the growth and sustainability of our existing businesses as well as recruiting new businesses - resulting in a growing economy where more people have good jobs, and are buying and selling more goods and services.

3 WORKFORCE & TALENT Businesses and industries need a skilled, available workforce in order to succeed, grow, or consider a location in the Cedar Valley. Therefore, it is vital that the Alliance & Chamber impacts the quantity and quality of the workforce that is available now and in the future in order to attract and retain high quality employers! Our approach to Workforce & Talent is two-fold. Promote quality of life & amenities that invite graduates and others to remain in or move to the Cedar Valley. Collaborate with K-12 education systems to ensure the next generation of workers have the soft skills necessary to succeed on the job and in life; and ensure that higher education delivers a sufficient supply of qualified workforce, and provides opportunities for lifelong learning. KEY ACTIVITIES TO RETAIN AND ATTRACT A QUALIFIED WORKFORCE Promote and expand the use of the Work the Valley job board. Communicate quality of life attributes and professional opportunities in the Cedar Valley to targeted workforce sectors through the Live the Valley social media campaign. Partner with Cedar Valley young professional organizations to increase their knowledge of Cedar Valley careers and quality of life.

Inform businesses of the business benefits of diversity in hiring and inclusive practices through events, publications and recognition. KEY ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP FUTURE TALENT Prepare emerging business leaders through the Cedar Valley Leadership Institute.

Take the business message to Washington DC with the Cedar Valley Coalition and through the Iowa Association of Business & Industry. A key role of the Alliance & Chamber is promotion of The Cedar Valley of Iowa. The Cedar Valley of Iowa has become a wellknown and effective identity for our economic area. KEY ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE THE CEDAR VALLEY Increase public awareness of the Cedar Valley region as a maker place, promoting tech-led businesses, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and higher education in the Cedar Valley.
