Chamber Staff Return from PACP Annual Conference Inspired and Energized
Our Chamber team recently returned from the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals (PACP) Annual Conference feeling refreshed, energized, and full of new ideas! The conference provided valuable opportunities to connect with fellow Chamber professionals, exchange ideas, and explore new strategies for leadership, membership growth, communications, and the future of artificial intelligence.
We’re excited to bring these fresh perspectives and insights back to Huntingdon County as we continue looking for new ways to support our members, champion local businesses, and strengthen our community.
A special thank-you to PACP and the fellow Chamber professionals who shared their knowledge, experiences, and inspiration. We look forward to putting what we learned into action and building on the connections made throughout the conference.
We’re recharged, inspired, and excited for all that’s ahead for Huntingdon County!

We’d love your help getting these materials into the community and displayed where visitors can easily find them.

Together, we can showcase all that Huntingdon County has to offer!

Did you know........
Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.
Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
