Chester County
Chamber of Business & Industry

“As a small business owner it can be difficult to work on the business when you're stuck with the day-to-day operations.  When I joined CCCBI I knew it would help get my business to the next level, but the thought of networking was enough out of my comfort zone to make me want to avoid so many events the chamber was offering.  Luckily the chamber assigned me a mentor to help guide me through the networking process and how to get the most out of these events.  They even joined me on my first event and helped me feel confident networking.  Networking led me to many catering opportunities that multiplied to many more, meeting new and interesting people within my industry to trade ideas, and allowed me to apply for grants and small business loans that would help grow my business infrastructure.  The resources the chamber provides and the people I have met during my membership also helped me fulfill a longtime dream of procuring a storefront in downtown Phoenixville.  Being a member of CCCBI has helped me accomplish many business goals in such a short amount of time.”

“Our chamber membership has allowed us to build relationships, gain brand recognition, share our expertise, and learn ways to improve and grow our business. CCCBI provides innovative events, panels, and skill-building activities. They always ensure the business community has a voice on issues impacting them. We’re thrilled to be a part of an organization that provides opportunities for its members. We’ve gained clients, but we’ve also been clients to members. We’re excited to watch CCCBI continue to expand its reach and be a leading resource for the business community.”

“Being a member of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry has been a transformative experience for me! Every event I’ve attended has led to a new, valuable relationship, proof that the strength of this Chamber lies in its incredible members and attendees. The professionalism of the staff, the dedication of the ambassadors, and the clear, timely communication make it stand out from the rest. One moment that truly impacted me was the "Tell a Story, Build a Brand" event with Craig Smith. His insights completely shifted the way I approach my webinars, helping me refine my storytelling to better engage with my audience. That’s the power of this Chamber, real connections, real learning, and real impact! If you're looking for a community that helps you grow both personally and professionally, this is the place to be!”

“After I moved from for-profit to non-profit I wasn’t sure what types of help or benefits there would be for me and my role at Handi-Crafters. Moving from being a financial supporter of the Chamber to a regular member, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But what I did get is the very same, authentic, and kind support I always have received. The team at the Chamber have always put my interests and outcomes at the forefront of every interaction. They have even personally given of their own time, numerous times, to help us out and ensure we offer the best experience for others. I couldn’t imagine getting the things done that we do without the Chamber and the remarkable staff! Thank you!”

“As a new member, Kamelot Productions recently had the privilege of covering the chamber's Summer Solstice event at Loch Aerie Mansion. It was an incredible experience interviewing some fascinating individuals and using our first-person view drones to capture stunning footage both indoors and out. The result? A phenomenal video that we are truly proud of. During the event, we had the pleasure of meeting the Owner of Cafe Gourmino. Impressed by his products and setup, we invited him to be a part of an upcoming event Kamelot was producing for Toll Brothers at their new apartment community, Broad + Noble, in Center City. Michael's selection of hot and iced drinks were a major hit at the event, leaving everyone talking about it! Thank you to CCCBI for providing us with the opportunity to connect with remarkable individuals like Michael and many others. Whether it be for innovative video content, photography, event production, website development or branding, we are excited to be a new resource for chamber members. Looking forward to many more exciting collaborations and experiences ahead!” 

"Being a CCCBI member has provided us with valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders and peers that have led to exciting collaborations such as our recent winemaking partnership with Aneu Kitchens. As we celebrate eight years of membership, we look forward to supporting our CCCBI community and making more incredible connections along the way."

"I just wanted to take a moment to express how thrilled I am to be a member of CCCBI. It's been such a heartwarming experience reconnecting with old friends and making new ones along the way. Being part of this dynamic group of changemakers has filled me with so much excitement and hope for the future. I can't wait to see what amazing things we can accomplish together! Here's to creating positive change and forging lasting connections."

“Del Vacchio Landscapes & Christmas Decor hosted a Business After Hours last year in September to kick off the holiday season. We thought the community knew of our 35 years in the landscaping industry, but many don’t know benefits of holiday decorating for your home or business. Not only were we able to showcase what we do, but we had a great night of fellowship for our team and chamber members. The support from our CCCBI is amazing as many members even donated food or raffle items to complete our night. It was a great chance to showcase our history and growth while enjoying the networking power of CCCBI.”

“I’m so happy I’ve joined CCCBI. It is one of the organizations that I’ve got the most out of and benefited from professional and friendship connections. CCCBI President Laura Manion is great at introducing people and spotting synergy between members. I met Stephanie of Garces Group at the first chamber event I attended and was able to host a ladies lunch at their beautiful restaurant that many enjoyed and was also able to refer the space to a client of mine as well!”

“Our experience as a new member of CCCBI has exceeded our expectation! Not only did the staff of CCCBI help us to quickly acclimate, they actively promoted our business to its many members in tangible ways. Cafe Gourmino had an opportunity to bring the artisan coffee shop experience to one of the chamber’s Board of Directors meetings. More recently, we took our coffee cart to fellow member Barsz Gowie Amon & Fultz, as they welcomed this semester’s interns with a cup of deliciously brewed espresso drink. In short, we are very pleased being a member of CCCBI. The team is doing an amazing job in establishing networking opportunities, holding numerous events, and supporting the business community of Chester County.”
