And Our Members Say….

Connections

“The Durham Chamber of Commerce’s programs and events provide networking and educational opportunities that are measurably beneficial to me and my company. Membership in the Chamber is essential and increased business contacts are just one of the many benefits I enjoy.”

- Keith Poindexter, Triangle WebNet

Economic Impact

“I know that my company’s success depends very much upon the economic well-being and growth of Durham County. There’s no question the Durham Chamber’s great efforts in this area have helped my business and my bottom line.”

- David Woodell, SunTrust Bank

Visibility

“To reach the people I need to reach, I sponsor several Chamber events a year and frequently advertise in Chamber publications. I feel it is very important to be active participants in the community with my time and monetary support. What I have consistently seen is that my company’s name recognition is now very high, and every business aims for that.”

- Pam Higdon, Express Personnel Services

Advocacy

“Durham clearly needed the $110 million bond issue to pass in 2005. The Chamber’s aggressive leadership position before the public absolutely helped make it happen.”

- Scott Gardner, Duke Energy

Leadership

“I’ve lived in Durham for more than 30 years, and operated my business here since 1988. Through Leadership Durham, I learned more about our community than I ever expected, gaining a greater appreciation of the delightful diversity of the residents, the vision of our leaders, and the many opportunities that surround us.”
