I had the pleasure of speaking to Derrick months prior to meeting him. I have never been a member of a chamber in the past. I was able to go to one GECC and I enjoyed the networking aspect. I invited Derrick to my event prior to joining and he show up and brought people with him to enjoy. I spoke Derrick about business several times prior to making my decision. The kindness, professionalism and care he showed me, proved that I needed to align with people like him. I am super excited to create partnership and relationships with this chamber I am very pleased thus far with my choice. This is a chamber that sets the bar high.
