After checking out several chambers in the area, I finally found the perfect fit with the Amherst Chamber. If you're a business owner looking for a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment, this is the place. Networking can be intimidating, especially when you don't know anyone, but from the moment I walked in, multiple people greeted me and made me feel right at home. Highly recommend! - Kelly Martins, GRATI Consulting
