What Our Members are Saying About UsThe Chamber of Southern Saratoga County works hard to promote and serve our members. Here what they are saying about us.
 I am very pleased with my chamber membership. The benefits of being a chamber member were evident soon after I joined. I was able to promote my marketing, public relations and event planning consulting business in the community though a feature story in the Community News. As someone in PR, I can appreciate the value of a feature story vs. paid advertising. The chamber also referred new business my way and allows for many networking and educational opportunities. The Chamber staff have also been very helpful. I just wanted to say thank you.- Alicia Jacobs, AJ Management and Chamber Member Since 2009
I attended all 4 of the Social Media breakfast seminars (June 2010) and found the content and value of these experts on such a timely series of topics amazing! I strongly urge all who would search for some high priced seminar to look at the ‘gold in our backyard’ and attend these excellent, great ‘ROI’ sessions by our Chamber of Southern Saratoga County. Send a few officers and staffers; they’ll get a lot out of it; and be back after breakfast! I look forward to more on timely topics and skill enhancement. Keep up this convenient educational resource please! - Wayne A. Evancoe, CEO/Administrator, The Rubin Dialysis Center and Chamber Member since 2002
"When you become a part of the culture that the Chamber of Southern Saratoga County fosters it is hard not to maintain business alliances and in some cases friendships. After being a member of multiple chambers in the capital district I can say with confidence that no other chamber makes a member feel as important and welcome as the Chamber of Southern Saratoga County. It is in the philosophy that the member is treated with respect, and acknowledged as the life blood of the organization that you find this chamber's values. As good as the individuals who run the chamber are, this organization cannot survive without the success and growth of its membership. I have a tremendous sense of gratification to know that when I choose another member, I am supporting my chamber's success and growth. I also understand that my business will never evolve to the level I dream of without the help and support of others. I firmly believe there is no better place to develop these crucial relationships than our local chamber. It is for these reasons that I choose to first look to the chamber to fill a product or service need." - Justin J. Spraker, Financial Advisor, Chamber Member since 2007.
"Just thought you would like to know how pleased we are already with our membership. In one of the recent emails from the Chamber I read that you offered members 12% discount at Sprint. Well I did last week and today she called and we now have the 12% discount. Hot Dog!" - Larry J. Stanley, Scherff Insurance Agency, LLC and Chamber member since 2008
"Working with the Chamber is like having a fairy godmother." Wendy Berninger, Marketing Consultant, Bentley's Tavern, The Rusty Nail Grill and Tavern, and the Mill on Round Lake and Chamber member since 2000.
"I called your offices last week and asked if the Chamber could provide guidance. I was given the name of a couple of individuals, and called Kate Baker of the University at Albany Small Business Development Center. The two of us met with her for a few hours at your offices this morning. The young lady is a dynamo - she had a great many helpful comments and suggestions, and insightful observations. It's great that the Chamber can provide good access to such valuable services - Thanks!"- Jay Williams, Power Delivery Consultants, Inc. Chamber members since 1997
"I'd been wanting to make contacts with people in the real estate industry, so I attended one of the Chamber's mixers. While there I met a mortgage broker who then introduced me to a realtor, who introduced me to a house inspector all in the same night." - Pauline Bartel, Owner and Chief Creative Officer of Bartel Communications, Inc. and Chamber member since 2003.
"Being a member of The Southern Saratoga Chamber of Commerce has had a significant impact on our business. As the owner of Columbia Cabinetworks, the exclusive distributor of Woodmode and Brookhaven cabinetry in the Capital District, I am always looking for prospective clients. The Southern Saratoga leads group has provided a very effective forum to meet other building/renovation providers as well as developers, all of whom are willing to share and exchange information that ultimately leads to some of our most responsive prospects. I recommend this organization to any area business looking to grow! - Evan H. Levey, Managing Partner Columbia CabinetWorks and Chamber member since 2006.
"A one-minute conversation at a Chamber of Southern Saratoga County leads group event turned into a major partnership! When I met Laura Gouveia, Office Manager for Richard Wheeler's Revered Business Solutions, I noticed the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner logo displayed on her business card. I instantly recognized this as a potential partnership opportunity. Richard's company provides Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting software sales and support; Unified Digital provides custom Microsoft software development services. A perfect fit if ever there was one. A few emails after our brief leads meeting and Unified Digital is implementing custom software solutions for several of Revered Business Solutions customers, including Project Lead The Way, Public Employees' Federation, and others. It's a triple win for my company, Richard's, and his clients, and it's all thanks to our Chamber of Southern Saratoga County leads groups.- Alex Silverstein, president of Unified Digital Software Development and Chamber member since 2007.
