Testimonials

Member of CEO Roundtable:

Joining a business roundtable at the Chamber has been an incredible resource for both me and my business.

At the roundtable, there is a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who are not only passionate about their ventures but also committed to supporting each other’s growth. The diversity of industries represented within the roundtable adds many perspectives, providing fresh insights to participants.

The facilitated discussions offer a safe and collaborative space to address the challenges and opportunities we face as business owners. The exchange of ideas, strategies, and lessons learned is not only enlightening but also immensely practical. I find myself implementing some of the suggestions almost immediately, resulting in positive changes within my companies.

The guest speakers and industry experts bring an additional layer of expertise to the roundtable, offering deep insights into current market trends, innovative business practices, and effective leadership strategies. The content consistently exceeds my expectations, leaving me inspired and well-equipped to tackle the ever-evolving challenges of entrepreneurship.

As a business owner, time is precious, and I can confidently say that the hours invested in the Business Owners Roundtable are time well spent. The return on investment, both in terms of personal and professional growth, can be substantial. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to any entrepreneur seeking a supportive community, strategic insights, and a platform for continuous improvement.

Member of Sales Leadership:

At this point we have only had our first roundtable, however it was a great opportunity to get to know others in the community who are also looking for contacts and ways to improve themselves and their business.  Beyond getting to know one another we were able to discuss what made 2023 great and what we want to do better in 2024.  I feel that when I have time to spend with others like this I am able to learn about myself as well and look for ways to be the best version of me that I can.
