For this week’s Chamber Talk, I have been talking with one of my all-time favorite people and newest Chamber board member Nina Angle of Anglewood Kitchens & Design. Nina and I have been pondering the questions “What is the Chamber?” and “How does the Chamber benefit a business owner?”

Instead of hearing my voice all the time in Chamber Talk, I want you to hear the voice of a small business owner, one who has a true passion for what our Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce is trying to do and for the region as a whole, but also one who has experience in other, larger areas and knows the importance of Chambers of Commerce.

Here are Nina’s thoughts on those two questions mentioned above:

The Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce is not just a pretty white building sitting on Eaton Ferry Road. It is a hub of information for local businesses, community leaders, and non-profit organizations. It is a foundation to anchor our business community. The Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce is the tree trunk, and the businesses and organizations are the branches and leaves.”

See what ‘WE’ do!

WE Interconnect!

Our Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce website interconnects businesses, citizens and travelers. If your business does not have a website, use the link to your member page on the Chamber website on your business card. The Chamber even has a QR code just for your member page that we will be happy to send you for use on your business cards, promotional materials and ads. Interconnect! It is instant exposure for your business.

WE Promote!

The Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce offers two weekly email specials that allow businesses and organizations to promote news, sales or specials (on Tuesdays) or special events (on Thursdays). These email specials are FREE with your membership. In fact, if you take the basic cost of a Chamber membership and don’t factor in the website advertising or any other benefits and just do ONE email special, then you reach 600 people at a cost of .25 per person!

WE are Regional!

The Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce embraces and strives to serve and promote the five counties and two states surrounding Lake Gaston. The Chamber brings the region together as one united voice for local businesses, non-profits, churches, artists and individuals.

WE Support!

The Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce is “your” voice when dealing with government regulations, new taxes or new regulations. The Chamber keeps a “hand on the pulse” of local county, city and state governments and is more than happy to communicate your concerns.

Nina really gets it. I am SO proud to work with Nina and 12 other like-minded board members who truly see the vision of “reaching across the aisle” to work together and promote the businesses and organizations around the Lake Gaston region. They realize that when our businesses are successful, employees have more wages to support their families, non-profits and churches and more disposable to go back into the businesses to continue the cycle of success. As I have stated previously, we are so much better and stronger together. Our passion for Lake Gaston is the same. Lake Gaston gives us common roots, and we have the blessings of many unique branches of communities, businesses, organizations and people.

A note from one of our Chamber members – Roanoke-Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department: Please be careful when you burn yard debris. Be sure to have a cleared area for the burn. Hose down around the area. Have more water easily accessible if the fire begins to spread. Above all, do not leave the fire unattended. Thank you!
