Milford Chamber of Commerce
The Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce has always brought together a blend of resources, opportunities, explorers and experiences to ensure we build as solid a base possible to boost our community to the highest heights.
To our current chamber members, thank you for your continued support. For those of you considering opening a new business in Milford, you will find that becoming a chamber member is of great value to you. Milford is thriving; join us as we continue to grow. By joining the chamber, you open a door to several unique marketing opportunities: advertising options in chamber publications and sponsorship arrangements with the chamber for major seminars and other functions.
We are located in a prime spot for “drop-ins” and have daily visits by the public searching for information or asking for a reference. Many stop before entering to peruse the racks that we provide for our chamber members to display brochures and business cards.
When they do come through our doors we always refer them to our members, and industry-specific lists are distributed by the chamber upon request. These lists include such things as lodging, dining and realtors.
Currently there are three LEADS groups that hold weekly referral and support meetings at the chamber. Demand for these groups is high and we are exploring an opportunity to expand and add a lunch LEADS group or after work group.
Can’t make every chamber activity or participate in a LEADS group? Your chamber membership extends to all of your employees, ensuring that all of your staff can be involved in the chamber even when you can’t. Your engagement will help you develop your business and provide an opportunity to make valuable connections.
We are always excited to hear from members and ask for feedback on your expectations of the chamber and any suggestions you may have for us to better promote and serve the local business community.
Our mission at the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce is simple – to support, promote and attract business for the advancement of our community.
Business is our business.
Pam Staneski is the executive director of the Milford Chamber of Commerce.
