“Through the
Chamber, I’ve participated in Small Business Day in
Albany and voiced my concerns to our elected officials in
the State government. I’ve had the opportunity to experience
different aspects of the county through the Chamber and been
able to give back to the community via the Chamber Tourism
Committee. I’ve found the Chamber to be a valuable resource
to enhance my business.”
