Strengthening Connections: Monthly Presence in Our Communities

Chris often says, “If you have seen one chamber, you have seen one chamber.” That sentiment continues to inspire my approach to member engagement. When I joined the Chamber as Director of Member Engagement, I set out to truly see and understand our Chamber by personally meeting with nearly 100 members. Through these conversations, I’ve gained invaluable insight into our diverse business community—manufacturers sending products around the globe, companies that have been in business for 20, 80 even 150 years, and the daily challenges our members navigate.

Now, as I step into my third year at the Chamber, I’m focused on deepening those connections and strengthening our presence across Columbia and Montour Counties. One of the ways we’re putting this into action is by establishing “remote” office hours across our two-county footprint. I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be available to members and prospective members in Berwick on the second Thursday of each month and in Danville on the fourth Thursday. Whether you have questions, want to share insights, or simply want to chat over coffee, I’ll be there with remote office hours at a variety of member locations.

I encourage you to check out our weekly Wednesday E-Biz newsletter to find the location I will be at! If you would like to set up a specific time to meet email me at tcrayton@columbiamontourchamber.com or just stop by and say hello!

This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility, engagement, and support for all our members. Your input and involvement continue to shape our efforts, and I look forward to building even stronger connections together.
