    "I’ve been a Chamber member for years. Over those years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed attending events, participating in networking opportunities and getting to know non-profit leaders and business professionals. The years that it took to build those strong relationships was priceless in 2020. While I was Executive Director at Stepping Stone Emergency Housing, the support contributed by Chamber members gave us the ability to keep our doors open and continue our mission. We could have cut this membership expense from our budget, but I am so happy that I didn’t make that reactionary decision. The MetroNorth Chamber was a necessary investment during an incredibly difficult and challenging time."

    "I always find it enjoyable to network with others and discover our shared interests! I had the pleasure of a one-to-one meeting with Amanda Gregory of Design Ready Controls.

    We learned so much about each other, but what excited me most was discovering that we've both written children's books! Thank you to the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce for helping create opportunities for connection and partnership."
