Think Bank has been named the Business of the Year by the Edina Chamber of Commerce, recognizing the organization's commitment to innovation, community leadership, and helping people and businesses thrive.
Presented during the Chamber's annual awards luncheon, the Business of the Year Award honors organizations that demonstrate a commitment to excellence while making meaningful contributions to their communities through leadership, collaboration, innovation, and economic impact.
For Think, the recognition reflects a long-standing belief that strong communities are built through strong relationships.
"We're honored to receive this recognition from the Edina Chamber. This award reflects the dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, and the partnerships we've built throughout the communities we serve. At Think, we believe great organizations have a responsibility to contribute to the success of the communities around them, and we're proud to work alongside so many businesses and nonprofit partners who share that commitment." – Matt Vining, Think Bank’s Edina Branch Manager
While the recognition celebrates Think's contributions, the event itself served as a powerful reminder that community impact is never the work of a single organization. Throughout the luncheon, stories of service, innovation, and partnership were shared, creating an atmosphere that was both energizing and inspiring.
The sense of shared purpose in the room was unmistakable. Attendees represented organizations that believe deeply in investing in their communities, supporting one another, and creating opportunities for people and businesses to succeed.
"What stood out most was the genuine commitment to community that filled the room. We were surrounded by people who care about helping others succeed, strengthening local organizations, and creating opportunities for businesses and families to thrive. It was an inspiring reminder that we're part of something bigger than any one organization." – Matt Vining
Think also extends its congratulations to the other award recipients recognized during the event:
-

Their leadership and service, along with the efforts of many organizations throughout the community, reflect the collaborative spirit that helps make Edina a vibrant place to live, work, and do business.
Think is especially grateful for the leadership and engagement of its Edina branch team, whose commitment to building relationships, supporting local initiatives, and representing the organization in the community helps create lasting impact every day.
"This recognition is the result of countless relationship-building moments over many years. We're especially proud of our Edina team, who consistently show up, engage, volunteer, and invest in the community. Their commitment reflects the very best of who we are as an organization." – Jenny Hosfeld, Think Bank’s President & CEO
