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.”

Deanna Girardot, SIDC
Tranquil Interiors LLC
Founder & Principal Designer

“My membership in The Chamber has been truly rewarding and beneficial to my business development. Joining The Chamber was literally the first decision I made when relocating Tranquil Interiors LLC to Grand Haven from the Louisville, Kentucky area. Despite my networking fears, I was greeted with warmth and inclusion from the very beginning. Attending Bash’s, Early Bird’s and even Networking at Noon has provided so much exposure for my business, as well as the opportunity for personal connections. Most recently, I strategically utilized my membership to support my educational seminar, The Environment Advantage. I did so by sponsoring an Early Bird Breakfast for the 4 minute podium promotion. Leading up to the event, I raised awareness through banner ads in The Chamber Enews Letter. The Chamber was supportive in return by providing its beautiful conference room and listing the event in the community calendar. The event was a success, much like my membership in The Chamber.

Just as it was recommended to me by a local business owner, I highly recommend membership as a way to integrate yourself and your business into this amazing community.”

Barbara Lee, 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.”
