November is Small Business Month!
As we celebrate Small Business Month, we’re reminded that every purchase has a purpose — and shopping local strengthens our entire community. This article from the U.S. Chamber highlights how local spending keeps dollars circulating right here in Malden, supporting jobs, charities, and neighborhood growth.
It’s been a busy and exciting month for us at the Malden Chamber! We’ve welcomed 14 new members, hosted our first Morning Mixer and first Women in Biz Networking event, and continued to grow our programs that connect and empower our business community. We’re already planning for more — and we’re looking for hosts for upcoming mixers and networking events! You don’t need a traditional venue to host.
If you’re interested in showcasing your business and welcoming fellow members, reach out — we’d love to collaborate!
In appreciation for our members,

He also highlighted upcoming changes to the Massachusetts Health Connector, where over 300,000 residents may see higher premiums unless federal tax credits are renewed. In response, his office has updated its shutdown resources and shared additional information to help constituents with SNAP, health care, and energy costs.
