My favorite moments from last month are witnessing the power of our chamber members coming together and supporting one another during this pandemic. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER! All of us have had to make drastic changes to our work and lifestyle. Your Chamber is continually engaged in the virtual realm and on the phone doing everything we can to assist our members.
