MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

"When I began my career in the financial services industry it was important to me to give back to the local community and support individuals and their family’s dreams that took the shape of small businesses. My wife and I fell in love with the quaint, family-friendly city of Safety Harbor. Once I saw that the Safety Harbor Chamber supported the Bay Area Young Professionals organization, I knew it would be a great fit to join the Chamber. My experience with the chamber and BAYP has been more helpful than I could have imagined. It feels great to get together with local business owners, build out relationships with dedicated professionals, and be involved with a growing diverse community on a deeper level."

-Sam Rockwell, MBA, MMAS, Financial Advisor

When a consumer thinks that a company's products stack up better against the competition because the company is highly involved in its local chamber of commerce, it is because he or she infers that the company is trustworthy, involved in the community, and is an industry leader.
