“The Glendale Chamber has a fantastic networking event every Wednesday morning. This has been a wonderful group for Black Box Consulting to be a part of for several reasons. It allows us to meet and gain face time with public officials. This is very important to me and to my business. These people can have a great impact for us and our organizations as well as
a wealth of knowledge as to what legislation and initiatives are taking place locally that could impact our businesses. The networking meeting also allows us to become familiar with other local businesses in the area that we can refer
to our customers, friends, and family members. This is key as we are consistently asked for recommendations for other products and services from our clients and friends. I have been going for a few months and have made some lasting friendships and referral partners. This meeting has been, and will remain a high priority to my organization and me personally.
I would strongly suggest that every member attend this weekly event."

"The Glendale Chamber of Commerce Annual Auction is a spectacularly entertaining event! It has elements that
will appeal to everyone. There is the opportunity to meet and talk with friends. There is also the opportunity to make new friends and new business connections.
The suspense of the silent auction -
"will I have the winning bid?" - keeps everyone engaged and hunting for the
best items. The competitiveness of the
live auction is a challenge that many people welcome and the professional auctioneers get people fired-up to bid!
The music is always entertaining and the food is great. This event is one of the premier events in the City of Glendale.
Come and enjoy yourself!"
