Matt Baumgartner - President
Change Leadership for The Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce

Duluth has both challenges and opportunities.  We are faced with a shortage of workforce, housing, and childcare services. Supply chain issues have resulted in inflation. Mental health and homelessness need more attention. Property taxes are on the rise. These are complex challenges.  We also have opportunities. The diversity of our economy is to be celebrated. We have increased economic development with businesses experiencing strong demand. There is a palpable energy with new leaders and new entrepreneurs within our city. So, how can we leverage our opportunities to address the challenges?
