Member Testimonials

Emily P. Barker - Vice President, UNIGLOBE Travel World

“The networking and business opportunities created through my involvement with the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce are unparalleled! The people I have come to know through my involvement with the Chamber are not only excellent business leaders but great citizens as well. I highly encourage any company to join the Chamber and get involved in the numerous activities they offer.”

Jeffrey D. Wassmer - President/CEO, Spectrum

“Spectrum arrived on the Virginia Peninsula in early 2001 with ten employees.   Almost ten years later with the help of The Chamber, we are nearly 300 strong.  The VPCC has helped in many ways, including: introductions to vendors, savings on our medical costs, seminars and a job fair that is one of our most productive each year.  A personal strength the Chamber has provided is their Leadership Institute in which I have personally attended, as well as over 12 members of our corporate team.  It is a great introduction to the wealth of the Peninsula in many ways and has broadened our network greatly.  The Chamber has had a very positive effect on us, helping our small business feel big!”

Robert K. Gaddis - Owner, Gaddis Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.

“I have been a member of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce for 5 years and I have saved hundreds of dollars in office supplies and equipment because of its office supply program. That alone has paid for my membership and more. Being a member has also brought me in touch with others like me through before and after hours networking.”

Lynne Williams, CID, IIDA, LEED AP - Business Development Manager, Tactical Office Solutions, Inc.

“The Chamber has been an integral part of my development as a sales professional and manager over the past year.  I have developed productive referral partnerships and great friendships as a result of my active involvement in the Peninsula Business Network (PBN).”
