On The Move

We are "On-the-Move" Since 1983, the Chamber has recognized continued growth in membership increasing from 282 to over 2,350 members. It is with great pleasure that I personally thank you for allowing us to continue to serve you as the voice of business in Middlesex County. In our member companies, over 50,000 individuals are represented. We are united in our mission to be an advocate of the business community, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a vibrant economy. With over 45 divisions, committees and councils, the Chamber remains a strong organization that continues to actively support business. Special thanks to our 2007-2008 Chairman, Leonard Samela, and the Board of Directors for their great leadership and support. It is a privilege to work with an outstanding group of business people truly committed to making our region a better place to live and work. During the upcoming months the Chamber looks forward to many exciting endeavors and advancements as we continue to remain active in business growth and in securing new economic and industrial development to assure our economy remains healthy and strong. As the largest free-standing Chamber in the state, we have attracted some of the most renowned political, business and sports leaders nationwide at our monthly breakfast forums, with upwards of over 500 to 900 people in attendance. The Chamber will continue to take an active role in our area's legislative affairs, the promotion of all business clusters and skills training through our Workforce Development Programs. In addition, the Chamber's Side Street to Main Street Program has also assisted many minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs in their pursuit to grow and expand. Constantly searching to provide our members with additional continuing educational tools, the Chamber's small business seminars and workshops are consistently sold out with terrific speakers As always we count on your membership, loyalty and participation in the development of Chamber programs and we welcome your criticisms, suggestions and recommendations. I wish to thank all of you for your support of our Chamber. The Chamber excels because you excel and we are happy to help you succeed. And always remember, " The Sun Always Shines in Middlesex County"! Larry McHugh, President
