I haven’t found a business organization that allows us to get to know local business leaders and influencers better than the CCCBI does.

“The day after I signed up to become a member, I secured a five figure contract from a new client, simply because I was a member of this organization. Since that time I have had numerous successful introductions representing even more business. But, I also cherish the friendships I have made with other members at the many networking opportunities throughout the year. It’s difficult to put a price on that.”

“Like many small business owners, I joined the CCCBI to “mine” new business prospects. Little did I know that I would get so much more out of my membership! Sure, I network at the social events, but I take advantage of workshops and seminars that are like mini continuing education courses. And, I enjoy contributing communications expertise to CCCBI committees. It’s like the old Beatles lyrics, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” I will continue to take advantage of all the CCCBI has to offer, and continue to be actively involved in the Chamber’s goal to be the “Chamber of Influence.”

“If the Chester County Chamber of Business & Industry is truly to be a “Chamber of Influence” it must advocate for its constituent members in those areas that directly affect business in Pennsylvania. The Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee, working with and through the Chamber Board of directors, recommends Chamber positions on proposed legislative measures and regulatory law that will impact business. It monitors voting positions of incumbent legislators and subjects our legislative candidates to a rigorous endorsement process to determine their business friendliness. It meets regularly, and in a bi-partisan manner, with elected officials at all levels so that they hear first hand what the Chamber believes is in the best interests of our members. Whether it be tort reform, health insurance reform, taxation of businesses, employment issues or any of the myriad other issues that impact business in Chester County and throughout Pennsylvania, the Chamber is constantly attempting to influence outcomes in a manner that will best serve the interests of its members and will advance the economic well-being of the County and region.”

“As business and community leaders we are often so busy with our day-to-day duties that it is difficult to keep up with matters of legislative importance. As a member of the CCCBI and it’s Government Affairs Committee, I have been kept informed of important proposed and potential legislative matters at the local, state and federal levels in a timely manner that allows for the political activism that is so necessary these days to restore and preserve America’s economic greatness and freedom. Nancy Keefer has made political advocacy a top priority at the Chamber and we are all better for it. I especially like the government affairs committee meeting where I get to listen to the opinions of very well informed individuals on specific subjects and how best to influence legislators on these matters.”
Jonathan Corle
