Member Testimonial 

“I’m a returning member of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and I’m so happy I re-joined. I have made wonderful friendships and enjoy seeing new faces every time I attend an event. I have been going to the Wednesday morning breakfast and really enjoy conducting business with other attendees. It is a great way to start the morning because I usually go back to my office with referrals and leads to call. I especially like listening to the presenters talk about their businesses, share their expertise and, in some cases, offer Chamber discounts. I have already used several businesses. I would recommend this breakfast to anyone who is interested in meeting a very energetic group, learning about other businesses and making new friendship with local business owners."
