“If you only attend one Chamber event a year, make sure it is the Annual Dinner. 
It is THE business event to attend in Northern Kentucky.  It is consistently a
well-planned and executed event. Attendees are a veritable “who’s who” in the business and government circles of Northern Kentucky - a perfect atmosphere to make new connections or reconnect with those you haven’t seen.”
— Carri Chandler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America, Inc.

Lead Development
“You forwarded to me a lead from a fellow Chamber member requesting information on sales trainers who were members. I just wanted to thank you. I plan to follow up and whether anything comes of it or not, I just appreciate the way you handled referring me. I’ve been a member of the NKY Chamber for several years and it’s neat to see the Chamber is working.”
- Carl Bromer, Steller Sales Training, Inc.

Workforce
“I just wanted to thank you for coordinating such a successful event.  We will definitely participate in the Employment Extravaganza for years to come.  Again, it was a blast and I hope to continue to take part in this event in the future.”
- Amber E. King, Human Resources Recruiter, FedEx Ground

“We have filled the Receptionist position! Thank you very much for your help.  I can’t believe the response we have had. I have also had 4 or 5 calls regarding the Tractor driver positions as a result of your posting. Thanks again!”
- Kim Day, Turfway Park

"The website was extremely beneficial and provided our hotel with a qualified candidate who met our needs.  Even under a short time frame, we were able to secure the position with your help.  We will continue from now on to use the website for future positions available within our organization.  Thanks for all of your help!"
— Erin Molley, Holiday Inn, Riverfront, Sales Account Manager
 
Advocacy
“In the Chamber’s mission to enhance the business environment in Northern Kentucky it’s critical for the Chamber to be a leader in shaping the region’s political agenda at the local, state and federal level. To accomplish this, the Chamber’s Business Advocacy Department works hard to ensure members are educated and engaged in those critical spending and policy issues that affect our businesses and our community.  We stay closely linked to our government leaders to ensure their understanding and support of the Chamber’s priorities.”
-Gary Beatrice, Business Benefits, Inc.

“Through its creation and facilitation of the Northern Kentucky Consensus Committee, The Chamber has played a truly significant role in securing state funding for the capital construction projects in our region for more than 15 years. The successful funding of such projects as the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, the NKU Science Building and the NKU Regional Special Events Center can all be traced to some degree to the project identification and prioritization process facilitated by the Chamber through the Consensus Committtee.”
- Charles H. Pangburn III, Hemmer Pangburn DeFrank PLLC

“The Washington Fly-in trip’s success has been evident over the past few years through the positive feedback and interest from congressional members and the movement on important issues (i.e. the Brent Spence Bridge). An attendee can use this trip to network with other local business leaders, government officials and congressional members.  This is an excellent opportunity for members to help influence regional issues, while promoting their own business’ legislative agenda.”
— Rhonda Whitaker, Duke Energy

Networking
“The Annual Golf Outing is such a great event. The venue gives you many opportunities to greet and meet new people. I have developed many new friends and clients as a result. It is an event that I look forward to on a yearly basis.”            
— Amy Beck, First Security Trust Bank

"I can't think of a better organization to be affiliated with.  Our investment with the Chamber is reciprocated ten fold. Whether it's the monthly Eggs ‘N Issues or program speakers that the Chamber provides access to, I always come away with something that I can apply our business strategies to. The networking alone is immeasurable."
— Doug Giordano, Verizon Wireless

“As a member of the Northern Kentucky Chamber I have been afforded great networking opportunities for business growth through the programs and events offered.  More importantly as a member of this very active chamber I feel a part of the exciting business growth of our region.” 
— Mary Lynn Brunemann, St. Elizabeth Business Health Services
Education/Business Alliance

“I have passed by Citi dozens of times but never considered applying there because I thought that it required a college degree. If it weren’t for our B.E.S.T. partner  representative, I would have probably worked at my current job to get me through school. Now I will be able to start my “adult life” on the right track with great benefits, a 401K and tuition reimbursement.”
— Senior, Holmes High School

Leadership
 “TLNK is a unique opportunity provided to teachers that is available in no other avenue.  It treats teachers as professionals and leaders, and this idea is too seldom presented.  By having representatives from all different areas / systems / schools, we can share knowledge and information to help each other instead of being “islands.”  Connecting us to community, business and government leaders allows us to be a better partner in the community.”
 — Sue A. Sorrell, Conner High School, TLNK Inaugural Class of 2000

“…The lessons I have learned through the RYL program are lessons that I will not soon forget.  That a community as large as Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region is so multi-faceted does not surprise me.  That our region does such a fine job of covering all the bases does.  However, the problems are there…In fact, all the sessions seemed to alert me to different problems that were being faced by the different parties that we encountered.  And yet through it all, it seemed as if the community was working together to face the problems.  That is what makes this region so unique.”
— Jonathan Farrell, RYL Class of 1998
