​
In a video game, obstacles appear continually.  And the only way to progress in the game, is to either work around them or overcome them with your superior skills. We have to do the same in our civic and professional lives.  Stop expecting the status quo – or even a return to the “way things were”. 

Instead, learn to adapt to make positive changes.  The Chamber is here to help you shape your market, to advocate for strategic investments, and to improve the economic competitiveness of our region. We will know we have made progress together when higher net growth of businesses has resulted in more high-paying jobs in Montgomery County.

- Leslie Ford Weber
