“The Coast Chamber provides a unique opportunity for Coast businesses to grow strong partnerships with other like-minded organizations. The Coast Chamber and Business Council have a common vision for improving the economic vitality of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We are a better community when we work together.”

Brian W. Sanderson, President, Gulf Coast Business Council

“I no longer use the term ‘The chamber of commerce.’ Their personal attention, quick response, caring attitude, and pertinent services – such as their workforce seminars – have made it ‘Our chamber of commerce.’ Associated Food Equipment is investing in long-term improvement processes to be the most valued dealer partner for the Coast’s foodservice industry. Our chamber helps us achieve our goals by sponsoring up-to-date training on topics we can use immediately. We improve each day, and our chamber provides a convenient and economical venue
for learning.”

“Our membership helped grow our startup business. As a startup technology company, our resources were limited. We joined the Chamber in 2002 for the chance to network with potential clients. AGJ Systems and Networks services clients from New Jersey to Colorado to Florida; yet 11 percent of our client base comes from active Coast Chamber members. The Coast Chamber helps us grow our local business and strengthen relationships with existing clients.”

“Not only was the Chamber of Commerce instrumental in helping us to open our business, but the Chamber has also played an active role in ensuring that our ongoing business has been a success. There have been several occasions where we have asked the Chamber for assistance and where the Chamber has worked diligently to follow through and meet our needs. As business owners, we greatly appreciate how the Coast Chamber has taken a genuine interest in the success of Southern Grounds Coffeehouse, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without their help.”

“The success of all businesses, large, small and in between is directly tied to their ability to interact effectively with business partners, to reach their local community and political leaders, and to get their message out to potential customers. The Coast Chamber provides the venue and tools that facilitate such interaction at all levels. I could not imagine operating a business in my community and NOT being a part of the Chamber of Commerce. It is an essential part of what we do day in and day out.”

“For less than the price of one ad, membership to the Chamber of Commerce is a lifeline to small businesses for a whole year! Joining the Chamber not only means networking and socializing; it’s also about classes geared to the successful running of a small business and people that really care working hard for your success! I recommend you take advantage of all the opportunities of community involvement and networking that the Coast Chamber offers to help your business grow.”

“My Coast Chamber membership has been invaluable to me. I have always believed that what is good for your City is good for the entire Coast, and I feel the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber is good for the entire Mississippi Coast. It helps me not only in my business, but the networking with businesses and leaders in other communities helps me broaden my contacts. When legislation matters arise, that affect my business, the contacts I’ve made are invaluable.”

“I’ll give you three good reasons I joined the Chamber. First, they promote small businesses, and they help us tremendously. Second, they keep us informed. Like all small business owners, I’m very busy. But the Chamber emails and newsletters keep me up-to-date on information I need. And third, thanks to the Chamber, I received a grant to help my business.”

“The fi rst thing on my menu was to join the Coast Chamber. Catered Thymes is a fairly new business on the Mississippi Coast. From the very beginning, the Coast Chamber has been a great partner in growing our business, from helping with our opening to introducing us to the business community. The local Chamber staff has always been helpful to me, and I strongly recommend joining the Chamber to any business looking to grow.”
