“In all of my experiences with groups designed to promote and facilitate business development, the NCMCC has been by far the most progressive, responsive and impactful. When I started Franklin Professional Associates, they were the first on my list to join up with. The staff shows genuine interest in my business initiatives and concerns and they have been tremendous to work with. The programs they’ve established to help business leaders stay educated on relevant topics has been essential for me. I couldn’t appreciate my fellow members more; the generous spirit of this group is remarkable.”

“There is a collaborative gene in North Central, a genetic predisposition in the communities in the region to collaborate and work together. We are here in North Central Massachusetts for those reasons.  We believe in North Central Massachusetts. We see and sense the community collaboration and desire to make the magic happen. You have engaged leadership, you have dynamic long range plans, you integrate education and workforce needs and you understand that no one is going to give you a hand out …so hard work and perseverance make it happen.”

“Without a doubt I would not be at this level of my career if it was not for all the great work being done by the NCMCC. The Chamber under the leadership of Roy Nascimento continues to give local business a leg up. Many of their programs are set up to help the local businesses expand their markets. In the North Central Mass Region I am a person that is known for having a lot of contacts. I will tell you first hand most of those are from being involved with the chamber. They have the product and knowledge, and as a business person you need to tap into it.”

“At HealthAlliance Hospital we continue to strive to provide exceptional care for everybody. Our partnership with the North Central Mass Chamber of Commerce is a wonderful benefit as our affiliation helps us to maintain important relationships and visibility within our community.”

“Joining the North Central Mass Chamber was the best thing I could do to get my new company noticed within the community. The SB2 Lunch and Learn series is one of my favorite events. I’ve taken valuable information from each of the sessions I attend, and applied the knowledge and improved my business immediately. The contacts and relationships I’ve made in less than one year are invaluable. I would encourage any local business owner to join the North Central Mass Chamber if they want to get noticed in the community and grow their business.”

“I joined the chamber to be more connected with the manufacturing business community in North Central Mass. The most important benefits to me are the many opportunities to connect with other business leaders in an atmosphere where we can learn from each other and share experiences.  In particular, the Manufacturing Executives Roundtable has been perhaps the best experience.  I have enjoyed and benefited from the discussions we have had, the visits to each other’s facilities, and the support available from peers with similar experiences.  It’s an absolutely invaluable resource, and there isn’t anything quite like it in NCM. I also take advantage of the medical insurance provided by the chamber.  The plans provide excellent coverage at a reasonable cost. I appreciate that the chamber is constantly moving forward with new programs that keep the chamber relevant and current.”
