"Being a member of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce has been invaluable. In comparison to other chambers, the GPCC offers professionally beneficial services that can be easily utilized by large, medium or smaller sized companies. As a business owner of 18 years, I have found the Chamber programming to be both relevant and applicable in my business acumen. I have established wonderful new professional relationships through Chamber events. I find that the Chamber has yet to disappoint me in an answer to a question or a solution to a concern.
The Chamber's programming is progressive in its focus on current business issues that directly impact the growth and development of all industries. The Chamber has shown to be a positive influence in my
business. This is largely due to the effectiveness and dedication of the GPCC staff who continues to exceed my expectations. It is clear that the Chamber's objective is to assist businesses of all sizes succeed, grow and prosper!"

"My membership in the Chamber has been a very worthwhile investment. The staff has always been very supportive to my business needs and the programs I attended were informative and professionally done. As a result I have been able to add a great new client after only being a member of the Chamber for three months. Membership has been a great experience and I only wish I had joined the Chamber sooner."

Thanks to the excellent work by the Chamber staff members who I have worked with, my experience with the GPCC has been extremely positive.

Their attention to our business goals as well as their insights into achieving them have proven to be invaluable to me and my team.

Chief Executive Officer
Shire Pharmaceuticals
"The opportunities presented by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce are exceptional, especially for a company like Shire, which is relatively new to the region and headquartered in Chester County. Our involvement with the Chamber has opened many new doors for our employees, connected us with key business and civic leaders, and allowed Shire to not only demonstrate our commitment to the region through involvement with various activities – from economic development to arts and culture -- but has also positioned Shire as a top-of-mind leader among organizations that care about solving issues impacting our communities, and that help define the greater Philadelphia region as a wonderfully unique place to live, work and raise a family."

"As one of the largest manufacturers in the Greater Philadelphia region, we have found the Chamber to be highly proactive as advocates for a healthy and favorable business climate. The vigor with which the Chamber's mission of enhancing regional business climate through public policy has been seen in a variety of ways and serves as a significant reason our company has remained in the area for over 35 years."

"Through my involvement with the Chamber's Young Professionals Network over the last 6 years, I have gained access to the city's future business, civic, and non-profit leaders. As a young lawyer in Philadelphia, I have benefited both professionally and personally with the contacts I have made through YPN. To be successful, it's not just ‘who you know', but it's also who knows you, and YPN has provided me with many opportunities to market myself and my firm to Philadelphia's future leaders."
Richard Fitzgerald
CEO
MaST Community Charter School
"Having moved to Philadelphia (from Berkeley, CA) six months ago, Chamber membership has been one of the most productive and enjoyable aspects of my new professional life. As the CEO of a large Charter School, my challenges are somewhat unique for a Chamber member. The Chamber staff, nonetheless, has been sensitive to my situation and as helpful as possible. I have been able to connect with a broad variety of other owners including fundraising consultants and media professionals. What I've come to realize is that the opportunities afforded by Chamber meetings and networking events are limited only by the time I am willing to give to them. This membership is an extraordinary resource for any non-profit leader."
J. William Mills

PNC Bank, Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey
"The Greater Philadelphia region's arts and cultural offerings are among the nation's elite. PNC Bank is proud to support the Chamber CulturePass which gives GPCC members the chance to discover many of our region's rich cultural treasures. Enjoy the experience!"
