Why I love Madison County is it has allowed me to be successful and to be myself at the same time. I am an honest and direct person and this has been embraced and rewarded since I have come to Madison County. Madison County’s citizens seem to be friendly, honest, hard working and somewhat hopeful about the future. These are the traits I have and love finding in others. I love it here and plan to live here the rest of my life. Madison County is a great place to work, live and play.

Madison County is the epitome of “Iowa Nice.” My Wife and I moved to the county in 2019 and we couldn’t have felt more welcomed. It’s exciting to see how many business owners attend the Friday morning coffees in support of each other. With all the non-profit organizations in the County it’s easy to get involved and give back to the community. We may not be natives of Madison County, but we’ve adopted it and are here to stay.

Allissa Johnson, Secretary
Bricker-Price Block
Allissa Johnson has served as the Executive Director of the community event space, Bricker-Price Block in her hometown of Earlham, Iowa for the last five years. As the sole employee of the nonprofit, she considers herself a “Jack of All Trades” filling many traditional roles like event coordinator, program director and marketing manager. But, she also takes on some of those “not-so-glamorous” responsibilities like weed-puller and janitor.
Bricker-Price Block hosts a wide variety of programs and event every year in their historic building like their Kids Club Summer Camps, Senior Speaker Series, Daddy-Daughter and Mommy-Son Dances, Bacon Bash and their Harvest Gathering Farm-to-Table Dinner… which has been featured as one of the top farm-to-table experiences by Travel Iowa.
As an Enneagram Seven or “the enthusiast”, her greatest value is laughter which you see come through her social media presence at Bricker-Price Block and in her everyday life. She’s a single mom of two children, Miles & Ella, and she also has served as President of a philanthropic group of over 60 women, called Chicks with Checks and as Secretary of our Madison County Chamber of Commerce Board.

I 🩷 Madison County for the wonderful people, for the support the community gives to local businesses ( and each other), for the beauty surrounding us and the joy I feel every day living here. I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be!

I love Madison County for many reasons, however, the biggest reason is, the people who live in this county are the best! You don’t have to look far to find caring, community-minded people! There is a great sense of pride, connection and gratitude from so many who genuinely want to make Madison County a wonderful place to live and work!

Kaysen Family Farms
When we moved here from Colorado 5 years ago we felt so fortunate to have found a beautiful property to begin life in Iowa. Not only do we love our home, we love this community.
We love all that Madison County provides; events & tons of opportunities. We describe Madison County as our own Hallmark Movie to our family who has yet been able to come to Iowa to visit.
We have always felt a warm welcome from the community and were encouraged by the community to grow our business and join the Chamber. In our family we aren’t afraid of hard work and making improvements where we can. Being a part of the Madison County Chamber I want to bring this same work ethic and make improvements that our members & community as a whole can benefit from.
