Your One Stop ‘Tips & Tools’ Business Resource Center My husband and I had just moved to Jefferson County. We wanted to connect with the community and local business right away, so we chose the Chamber of Commerce. We signed up for membership, and our “New Member Spotlight” was published in the PT Leader on Wednesday. By Friday, I had received 6 phone calls and 2 emails and already completed my first job in the area. Joining the Chamber Works! Holly Gosset, Unity Works
