ABOUT

Our Team & Committees

Over the past year, Steinbach businesses have once again demonstrated resilience, innovation, and a strong commitment to community. These qualities continue to drive growth and opportunity across our region and reinforce Steinbach’s reputation as a great place to do business.

The Chamber remains focused on advocating for a strong business environment, supporting our members through education and networking, and fostering meaningful connections between business, government, and the community. In 2026, we look forward to strengthening member engagement, supporting workforce development, and promoting Steinbach as a vibrant and competitive place to grow.

Thank you to our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and -most importantly – our members for your continued support. Together, we look ahead to another successful year of collaboration and progress.
