Carbon Chamber & Economic Development members give their thoughts on why it is important to belong to the Chamber and how it has helped their business and community.
“Since our first meeting and joining with the Carbon Chamber; we have picked up two Chamber member jobs and appreciate that very much!"
- Demetri Patitsas, Mazzella Enterprises
“The health and vitality of our local businesses have a direct, positive impact on the health and vitality of the communities we serve. Our bank has been active in the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce since its inception because out of all the organizations with which we are involved, the Chamber is the one organization that is perfectly positioned to support the growth and development of our local businesses.”
- Patrick H. Reilly, President/CEO, Mauch Chunk Trust Company
“As a long-time member of the Carbon County Chamber, I've seen how the Chamber allows me to build relationships within the business community, connect with our community, and support the County's economic growth.”
- Barb Green, President, Blue Mountain Resort
“I want to take a moment to thank the Carbon County Chamber staff for the hard work they do! As a member, I find it difficult to get to events and have learned that's ok! Our Staff took over an hour of her day to meet with me and provide me with great opportunities and information to help grow my business! If you go to a card exchange or some other event that is great, but the Chamber showed me that it is possible to utilize the Chambers services and resources in so many other ways! Just sitting with her and listening provided me with many leads.
I may not be able to attend the networking events all that often because life gets in the way, but I walked out of our meeting feeling pumped and motivated to take advantage of the opportunities the Chamber has put in front of me!! Thank you for truly seeing the big picture and helping me and so many others!!! It's important to mention too that the Carbon Chamber takes a great effort in working with every chamber to make things work even better! The interconnection and noncompetitive perspective are awesome! Your opportunities get bigger and bigger when Alice takes the time to share your information with other chambers! I highly recommend anyone to stop by and join this great organization!"
