Thanks for partnering with Third River to provide the webinar on whirlocal. I will be setting it up for our firm shortly. Thanks also to all the terrific staff at the Salem Chamber that work hard on behalf of Salem businesses and the community at large! I am blessed to live and work in Salem.
The Salem Chamber of Commerce under the courageous leadership of Tom Hoffert and his team are at the forefront when it comes to being a champion for finding creative solutions that support all local businesses in Salem. They work tirelessly towards being a catalyst for positive change during these uncertain times. We are a proud Chamber member and are thankful for their strong leadership.
The Salem Chamber understands it's mission and they stay focused on it. It is by far the best friend the Salem business community has. Nobody pays a business for trying hard, they pay a business for delivering on commitments. The Chamber delivers like the businesses it represents.
As a member and a Board Member I've had the opportunity to view the Chamber from many angles. It is hard to imagine a Chamber that would be more focused on advancing the interests of business. Extensive programs for networking and business development; Forums, Connect 4, Greeters, etc, excellent leadership development; Leadership Salem and Leadership Youth and strong business advocacy through candidate and issue in depth investigation and public policy forums. The Chambers consulting capabilities available to our members are high quality. The talented set of staff members can provide a valuable "outsider" look at plans and strategies and really help sharpen your focus on your customers needs. The web site is a great way to gain further understanding of the offerings and I encourage all members to investigate the ways they can maximize the value of their membership by taking advantage of the tools offered. The leadership of the Chamber has been of the highest caliber under Mike's tenure and continues with Jason. Truly two remarkable leaders that we are fortunate to have the benefit of.
When we first started our business about 5 years ago, one of the first things we did was join the chamber. I had been working outside of our community for several years and felt like it was an important step to getting reconnected with local businesses and community members. <br /> <br /> That first step did indeed turn out to be an important one for our business and we are now proud and active members of the chamber. The connections have really helped us grow our business and become a better member of our local business community. I can't thank the chamber staff enough for all the hard work they do every day to help the local businesses succeed ... mine included!
