It's National Small Business Week, a chance for us to celebrate entrepreneurs and small business owners in our region. These businesses are the backbone of our local and national economy. Did you know two-thirds of our Chamber member businesses have 10 or fewer employees, and half of our members have 5 or fewer employees? On a national level, small businesses create two out of every three jobs in the U.S.

The Chamber offers many resources for small business owners and employees to grow their bottom line AND to grow as leaders - including marketing, networking, and advocacy opportunities.  Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you are looking for a new idea to expand your customer base or need assistance with a business problem. If we don't know the answer, chances are we know someone who does!
