How is the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce different from the others?

Message From Our Chairman

It’s YOUR economy that matters!

We’ve just gone through several years of the worst economy that most of us have ever experienced. You need to go back to your grandparents’ time, the Great Depression, to find any comparable time that rivals what we’ve just lived through. The economists say that there is a light at the end of the tunnel … that our economy is “improving” … albeit slowly.

Welcome New Members

Our friends are saying...

Christine’s efforts in building strategic partnership started paying off almost immediately. I met Tanya Helfand, a family law attorney, at one of the Chamber’s meetings. We had breakfast together, learned about our practices, and discussed how issues with employment affect marriages, and vice versa. Within days Tanya referred a client to my firm and I am looking forward to referring clients to her.
