  • What our members are saying:
     
    "There are all the obvious reasons to be a member of the ARCC and their current programs feel stronger than ever. One specific thing I really appreciated was, when in a casual conversation with Tricia, I mentioned that I was having a hard time connecting with another local business. It had been on my to-do list for a couple of months and I was about to give up on it. She asked who I’d been working with there and said “this is who you need to speak to”. I made a mental note of it and didn’t think any more about it until later that evening when I received an email from the person she mentioned promising me a call the next day. Within 24 hours of mentioning my challenge to Tricia, it was off my to-do list and the result was mutually beneficial for two businesses in our community – thanks to the ARCC. A partnership like that is invaluable. Thank you Tricia and everyone at the ARCC!" - Christina G.
     
    "I have had nothing but a great experience with the ARCC. It has been an extremely welcoming community of fellow professionals, who embrace new members and genuinely want to support each other and our communities." - Connor M.
     
    "From the day that I joined the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce, it has been a benefit to my business. Their enthusiastic support and resources have enabled me to launch my business successfully. Appearing on the radio show "I'm In with the ARCC" gave me a great marketing asset at no additional cost. I've made many beneficial contacts through the Women's Business Council and by attending the events like mixers and ribbon cuttings. They also provide a wealth of information on how to do business in the area, economic forecasts, etc.” - Ann D.
     
    "I would like to say I found the chamber on my own, but the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce found me when I needed empowerment and support the most. Being a recent graduate from college, I was having trouble making connections in the community and finding a career that suited my personality and my goals. Through the ribbon cuttings, mixers, and so many great events the chamber holds, I’ve been able to meet so many amazing people who are all very willing to help me and guide me to the right people and the right places." - Brooke R.
     
    "As a new entrepreneur, I was presented with many decisions that had to be made in order to get my business running smoothly and effectively.  To be honest, I didn’t even know where to start.  Luckily, I came across the ARCC website and noticed an upcoming Veterans Business Network (VBN) event.  From the moment I walked into the event, I was greeted and welcomed so graciously as if everyone knew me already.  It was at that moment that I realized my heart had taken me to the right place.  Within a few days of attending the VBN event, I was a proud member and without question, my first year’s success is heavily contributed to joining the ARCC.  What I value most about our partnership is the fact that it’s never transactional but instead extremely personable.  For me, that goes a long way and truly shows the core of an organization." - Chris T.
