Stronger Connections. Bigger Goals. Bold Finish to 2025

As we dive into the second half of the year, there’s never been a better time to lean in and level up. The KCK Chamber is your partner in progress—bringing opportunities to connect with local leaders, elevate your brand, and energize your business goals. From signature events to meaningful conversations, let’s work together to close out 2025 with impact, growth, and momentum. Here’s a look back at how we kicked off summer—and how we’re setting the stage for a strong second half of the year!

Night at the Ballpark with the Women’s Chamber
We hit a home run with our Night at the Ballpark in partnership with the Women’s Chamber! Members enjoyed a perfect summer evening filled with baseball, networking, and community spirit. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, cheer, and celebrate the power of collaboration.

Congressional Forum with Rep. Derek Schmidt
We were honored to host Representative Derek Schmidt for a thought-provoking Congressional Forum. Attendees gained valuable insights into current legislative priorities and had the chance to engage directly with their representative. Events like these strengthen our voice and visibility in KCK!

Ribbon Cutting at Margaritaville – Summer Has Officially Begun!
We officially kicked off summer with the grand opening and ribbon cutting at Margaritaville! This vibrant new destination is already making waves in our community, and we were thrilled to welcome them with open arms. Cheers to new beginnings and tropical vibes!

As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, June brought a wave of exciting events and unforgettable moments for the KCK Chamber community. Summer is the perfect time to reconnect, recharge, and reimagine what’s possible. Whether you’re attending events, growing your network, or launching new initiatives, the KCK Chamber is here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make the rest of 2025 our most successful yet—together.
