Our local Chamber gives businesses and business professionals a lot of opportunities to succeed in our community. In the Mason County Leadership Program, we learned a lot about area businesses that I didn’t know before. We learned about their impact in their industries, as well as their impact on our community that I found eye-opening. We have some unique businesses that are doing a lot behind the scenes to help their employees and our community succeed. Also, the LEADs group helped me grow professionally, creating synergies with other business professionals wanting to grow their business. Meeting regularly and creating connections and ‘leads’ for our business benefits not only my credit union but also the businesses of those who attended regularly.
