“When I got home last night my wife asked me if I won the lottery, I said ‘no I joined the TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce and that is so much better!’”
-John Henning, Strategic-Partner, Schooley Mitchell of Tri County
“I have only been a member not yet a week. The day after I became a member, I went to the TriCounty Breakfast. It was an amazing experience, as before I left, I had 7 one on ones in the books to discuss my charity and how it can be supported by the community. I was flabbergasted at the amount of support received from people who I had just came in contact with. The chamber is amazing!”
-Lee Hill, President, Changemaker
“You’ve heard me say this many times over the years … The TriCounty Chamber of Commerce is one of my favorites, and I belong to many. From when I first started here at Patient First nearly 10 years ago, you and your staff have always been totally helpful and totally responsive to my many questions, especially when we were first opening our center in Collegeville … and as we looked to expand community contacts in Pottstown. Now that we are well established in both communities, I/we are especially happy when you can help us share information of interest with the Chamber membership, and the community at large via our regularly distributed news/media/information releases and infographics. Hope that will continue. Its noticed and appreciated by me … and also by staff in my headquarters organization. When I look to connect with any one, or any type of business or activity in the community, turning to the Chamber and asked to be pointed in the right direction is always one of my first steps.”
–George Yanoshik, Community Relations, Patient First
“When I first purchased Pottstown Dance Theatre I was only 31 (almost 32) and was full of questions. Not too long after that, the Schuylkill River flooded and came over to my school. I had to shut down. The Chamber was SUPER HELPFUL and offered to let me teach my dance classes in their offices until I could reopen. They’ve always been willing to jump in if needed and it’s been a huge blessing. I’m now almost 55 and know the Chamber helped get me through many hard times including the pandemic.”
-Michelle Jones Wurtz, Pottstown Dance Theatre
The TCACC is the mechanism that helps to drive the economic success of Pottstown and the Tri County area. The members that take advantage of all that the Chamber has to offer get so much value out of their membership. The best advice I can give is to be involved. The relationships that we have built and maintained through the TCACC have been essential to our growth and sustainability of our hospital.”
-Rich Newell, President & CEO, Tower Health Pottstown Hospital & Phoenixville Hospital
