News from the Board

Dear Members,

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for the Finnish-American Business Guild: we are now officially registered with Chamber of Commerce status as FACC North Texas. This change marks a new chapter in our growth and visibility within the business community.

Here’s what this means for you:

We are now officially recognized as a Chamber of Commerce, like our peers across the U.S. This opens the door to stronger networking and collaboration with other chambers, both locally and nationally.

You will notice a change in our name and branding. The Finnish American Business Guild has officially changed its name to Finnish American Chamber of Commerce North Texas. With a new name, the team is still committed to bringing networking opportunities to the Finnish-American community in our area.

Your membership benefits are getting clearer and stronger. With our new bylaws in place, we're making it easier to see what you gain as a member from event access and visibility to business connections and advocacy. The new membership categories are Corporate / Business / Non-profit / Individual / Young and Honorary members. For now there is no change; these new categories will be reflected in 2026 membership fees.

A dynamic Fall 2025 is ahead! Mark your calendars: we’re planning exclusive events like a visit to Lockheed Martin, a Dallas Stars hockey night, and our Finnish Independence Day celebration.

We’re excited about the path ahead and are committed to building even more value for you in this new chapter.

If you have questions or concerns about this change or would like a copy of the new bylaws, please contact me at m.vuojolainen@gmail.com.
