“Joining the Glendale Chamber has been beneficial for my business and office. I have enjoyed the many events that the chamber offers - from Business Over Breakfast, Business After Hours, and Coffee and Connections. The Coffee and Connections is a wonderful way to start your day with other like-minded business owners. It's about making connections and helping each other grow in your business. Coffee and Connections is very relaxing and friendly and you get to meet a lot of the chamber members one-on-one. The Glendale Chamber is growing and cares about their members and they make sure to bring value to all meetings and events. I always walk away with a positive outlook and even great business advice. Thank you, Glendale Chamber, for making all of these events a success.”

Those desiring more,
we can summit upon conclusion of the official program. Good sleep and hydration t
he day before are important.

"I was invited to a #Hike’ N ‘ Learn event at the Thunderbird Conversation Park located in Glendale, Arizona. Adventure for Charity was the sponsor and Jaro Horvath was our guide for the day. The event was truly one of a kind and inspirational! Jaro led us on a hike through the mountain preserve while the group discussed business building techniques, team building strategies, and how to face personal obstacles that we all face in our lives. I made a bunch of new friends and learned a ton, all while being in the great outdoors! I love the concept behind Adventure for Charity and will be attending future events. Thank you, Adventure for Charity!”
