The Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce help me professionally and personally on so many level. Professionally: After the great recession our hotel needed to get connected to the existing business community and grow our corporate portfolio of clients. The chamber assisted in providing programs, services and events that open the doors for new solid connections. Just within 2 years of working the chamber membership, our corporate portfolio grew 10 fold. Personally: "It is important what you know, more important who you know, but most important who wants to get to know you", said my late grandfather. The chamber provided me the opportunity to immerse myself into the chamber organization and participate in various committees and councils, even resulting becoming the 2016 Chair of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. The chamber made me a better leader. In my opinion every business should be a member of their local chamber of commerce as their return of investment will come from their involvement in the business community.

My company, S.MARK Graphics, relocated from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale in 2001. I immediately joined the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce and have been a member for the past 18 years. It's true when they say -- the more you put in, the more you get out. Get involved with this great Chamber and good things will come to you. Start by joining the Chamber, pick several events to attend each month and join a committee or two. It's all about creating and nourishing relationships. The Chamber makes it easy if you just get involved!

I moved my business to Fort Lauderdale in 2016 and, when I arrived, I was told that I should check out the GFLCC to see if it was the "right" place for me to network. The moment I reached out to them, I was helped. I met people, went to events, and became involved in various committees. I even got a client right away from my first luncheon! The "secret" to success at the Chamber, as well as ALL networking groups, is you have to be active and involved for it to work. The GFLCC is a great place to meet like-minded business people and business owners who will get to know you and TRUST you, over time. That means more business opportunities if you show up and earn the trust. Everyone I know who joined and became actively involved has benefitted from their membership. It's a great organization - and every individual can make a difference. If you have local or regional issues to talk about, I suggest you JOIN and get your voice heard!
