"The Greater North Dakota Chamber began as The Greater North Dakota Association (GNDA), which was founded in 1924 to attract tourists and settlers. As the state grew in population and as business and industry flourished, the GNDA's mission changed to creating and advocating for an environment that helped businesses grow and expand. In 2004, the GNDA changed its name to the Greater North Dakota Chamber. Our mission to create the strongest business climate in the nation did not change. As an organization we continue to lead the way in business advocacy."
