Testimonials from our members and associates When asked "What do you like most about the Chamber and how has your membership benefited you?" Lori told us, "I love the networking! The Irwindale Chamber is the “best deal out there”. It’s extraordinarily well run, and the amount of opportunities are incredible. I am blown away by what they do!" Lori Savage, Within Reach Coaching November 2008 "As a small business owner, I must consider where my marketing dollars are invested as well as the potential return for my business growth. Lisa and her staff at the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce make my chamber investment an easy choice. The decisions they make always add value for all chamber members. For example, earlier this year they made significant changes to the website. The website now provides many new tools for promoting my business and best of all they're all included in my basic chamber membership! One helpful tool that comes to my mind is the "mobile" version of the chamber site www.irwindalebyphone.com. I bookmarked it on my cell phone at the beginning of the year in case I ever needed it. Today, on my way to the "Let's do Lunch" event I realized it was not where I thought it was. After a quick stop on the side of the road, I was able to access the mobile version of the chamber website and confirm the location. I was back on the road and on time for this event within minutes! Thank you to the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce for all of the new and innovative things you do." Alfred Gutierrez- Grand Slam Coffee Service, September 2008 "Jan's Towing employees and customers are very much enjoying steaming hot, freshly brewed coffee or hot chocolate right here in our lobby. Alfred Gutierrez has provided a great machine with fresh ground beans and the choices of sweetner, creamer, and different combinations. The machine is maintained and serviced by Alfred himself and, if we need him sooner all we have to do is call. The best thing ......this service is totally free to our company with a low cost per cup of a fresh, hot beverages and absolutely no maintainance. Thank you GRAND SLAM COFFEE for a great service!! "Annette-Jan's Towing, May 27, 2008
"My son and I went to Tax-Saver and were very happy with the service. Don was very professional and asked a lot of questions trying to get us all the deductions possible. I recommend him very highly so please try him out." Sarah Parker- K&S Snaks April 7, 2008
"On our trip to India, we visited flower shops that was of real value and interest to my wife Rosi. She brought home many new and interesting designs that are native of India. She still corresponds with a lady whom we met in India. Still exchanging pictures and ideas. If you enjoy traveling these two trips have been a wealth of information and knowledge. Not to mention networking. This is networking at it’s finest. Many of our fellow chamber members still order their flowers from us. I hope and pray that the Irwindale Chamber continues to offer these trips because to me it is a win win situation for everyone involved. And after all this is what a merchant is all about, making contacts!" March 27, 2008 Gene & Rosi Medrano, Rancho Duarte Florist "Just getting to know you over the last couple years through the chamber world, this honor (Assemblyman Ed Hernandez Women of Achievement for the 57th District) is well deserved. You do so much for your community and for us “newbies” in the Chamber profession. Your contribution is important and this tribute is a way those who know you and your role are saying thank you. Keep up the good work." Drew Graham, Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry “Lisa is a pleasure to work with and is truly a professional at running a Chamber of Commerce. Out of all of our EcTownUSA.Com clients she is very progressive and keeps me on my toes!” Placed on Linkedin.com March 12, 2008 Richard Scully, CEO, EcTownUSA.Com “I have worked with many Chamber CEOs, but Lisa easily surpasses them all in her accomplishments, intelligence, vision, & other professional skills. What particularly sets her apart is a sincere desire and genuine ability to listen to the needs of her members & colleagues, and her community. She enthusiastically leads cutting edge projects, and at the same time uses her hands-on, down-to-earth-personality to continually help connect people well, and foster solid business growth. When Lisa is behind something, it will happen!” Placed on Linkedin.com February 16, 2008 “The Irwindale Chamber of Commerce is one of the most forward thinking, active, exciting chambers I've encountered. As a business owner and leader I am a member of and active in several chambers. Since resources are always limited, we are constantly evaluating the value we receive from our various memberships. Membership in the Irwindale Chamber is consistently ranked as one of the most valuable since we are able to directly tie business to our membership and participation in the chamber. As the President and CEO of the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce, Lisa IS the chamber and the driving force behind the chamber's success.” Placed on Linkedin.com February 14, 2008 All members are encouraged to provide a testimonal of how your membership in the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce has been of value to you and or your company.
