Testimonials

Abby Selby, CPA
Selby Tax & Accounting PC

“I started my business over 9 years ago, and with the help of the Chamber I have grown significantly year after year. The Chamber has so much to offer, including Early Bird Breakfasts, Chamber BASHes, Leads Groups, and various seminars. I take advantage of these wonderful networking events as often as possible because they have proven to help grow my business. I can honestly say that the Chamber has played a significant role in my success.”

Barbara Lee VanHorssen, Momentum Center

“Joining the Chamber and then joining a Leads group was one of the best investments we ever made. The Chamber networking events open up opportunities of connection and interaction with new people and organizations that care about the community. And Leads offers even more by providing a space where relationships deepen, trust grows, and true collaborations materialize. I recommend both because you simply can’t beat the ROI.”
