Small Business Roundtables

Small Business Roundtable sessions provide a space to share challenges, exchange ideas, and explore solutions around any topics brought by participants, which may include hiring, marketing, operations, and more.

Each month rotates between a specific topic and an open discussion format.

The voice of small business matters and the Chamber is listening. Conversations at the table  help shape programs and initiatives that support local businesses and strengthen Mason City’s economy.

"There’s something genuinely contagious and uplifting about sitting down with fellow business owners who are all rowing in the same direction. These aren’t polished sales pitches or surface-level small talk — people show up open, honest, and willing to share."
Michelle SkarpnessOwner, Michelle Skarpness Photography
"Small business builds community. When we support each other we strengthen Mason City’s economy and quality of life at the same time. I am excited to keep these conversations going and I encourage any business owner to join us at the table."
Matt CurtisOwner, Wayne's Ski & Cycle
