“I wanted to be a part of our chamber of commerce to understand the business world in this area. I am a retired veteran starting a small business in the area and I wanted to ensure I was fully involved in what the community was doing and what I could help do for the community. The chamber provides the opportunity to meet a lot of people, to network, and to understand the local business community. The chamber is also one of the best resources to help stay abreast of what is happening in the business world.”
