“The Chamber has been a great supporter of the airport’s efforts to improve air service and was an important element in attracting new airlines. Their assistance is an important part of our sales pitches to airlines and their support is valued greatly.”

“Our relationship with the Better Business Council has provided an incredible stream of referrals for our firm.  And the resource of locating quality BBC businesses and services we need is just as valuable.

It’s reassuring to know that all the BBC members have met a stringent review of licensing, insurance, references and past performance that sets the highest of standards in our business community.”

“I have attended two Facebook and one Google seminar at the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.  Due to the knowledge that I received, we were able to increase our SEO level from landing on page 10 of a category search to landing on page one and being the first or second on the listings.  I would highly recommend attending the Chamber seminars.  Great information that can help your company achieve success!!”
