I have been a member of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce for about a year and a half. Being new to working in the area I wasn't sure how to get my name out there, so I signed up to be a chamber member. Since then Ive made countless connections and have received numerous referrals in a relatively short amount of time. I felt supported through Covid as we continued to meet and connect virtually. Being passionate about the growth and success of the west valley. I threw my name into the hat to become a board member.Now I am on the board and couldn't be more excited to continue implementing positive change behind President, CEO, Jeffrey Campos. I can say with absolute certainty that I would not be nearly as successful in my role as Sales Manager for Main Event Avondale without the help and support of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce.
