Q: What prompted you to volunteer as a Chamber ambassador?

A: I find value in this program, because it is great to be the liaisonbetween the business community and the Chamber. This way, I can help both by mentoring and networking with businesses, while adding newmembers who benefit from the services the Chamber has to offer.

Q: How has the investment of time and resources in the Chamber benefited your company or business?

A: The investment of time has been valuable.It has given me the opportunity to 'reach out' to the many Rhode Island businesses in the Chamber and build professional, lasting relationships with them. Through these connections I have brought much needed resources to many people.

Q: What is your best advice for making the most of Chamber membership?

A: A person MUST attend as many of the networking events and seminars the Chamber offers throughout the year.Remember that membership is not a "one shot deal" emdash; value comes from attending and connecting with other RI executives; building those professional connections will eventually turn into business!
