Chester County Chamber
of Business & Industry

"Being a CCCBI member has provided us with valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders and peers that have led to exciting collaborations such as our recent winemaking partnership with Aneu Kitchens. As we celebrate eight years of membership, we look forward to supporting our CCCBI community and making more incredible connections along the way."

“Our experience as a new member of CCCBI has exceeded our expectation! Not only did the staff of CCCBI help us to quickly acclimate, they actively promoted our business to its many members in tangible ways. Cafe Gourmino had an opportunity to bring the artisan coffee shop experience to one of the chamber’s Board of Directors meetings. More recently, we took our coffee cart to fellow member Barsz Gowie Amon & Fultz, as they welcomed this semester’s interns with a cup of deliciously brewed espresso drink. In short, we are very pleased being a member of CCCBI. The team is doing an amazing job in establishing networking opportunities, holding numerous events, and supporting the business community of Chester County.”

“I’m so happy I’ve joined CCCBI. It is one of the organizations that I’ve got the most out of and benefited from professional and friendship connections. CCCBI President Laura Manion is great at introducing people and spotting synergy between members. I met Stephanie of Garces Group at the first chamber event I attended and was able to host a ladies lunch at their beautiful restaurant that many enjoyed and was also able to refer the space to a client of mine as well!”

“Joining the CCCBI has been a game-changer in my first year. The opportunities to connect with other professionals have been incredible from casual conversations to collaborations that are already making an impact. Every event feels like an open door to new relationships, fresh ideas, and great business information. It’s not just networking, it’s building a strong, supportive circle of people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. I’m grateful for the connections I’ve made and excited for what year two brings!”

“As a small business owner it can be difficult to work on the business when you're stuck with the day-to-day operations.  When I joined CCCBI I knew it would help get my business to the next level, but the thought of networking was enough out of my comfort zone to make me want to avoid so many events the chamber was offering.  Luckily the chamber assigned me a mentor to help guide me through the networking process and how to get the most out of these events.  They even joined me on my first event and helped me feel confident networking.  Networking led me to many catering opportunities that multiplied to many more, meeting new and interesting people within my industry to trade ideas, and allowed me to apply for grants and small business loans that would help grow my business infrastructure.  The resources the chamber provides and the people I have met during my membership also helped me fulfill a longtime dream of procuring a storefront in downtown Phoenixville.  Being a member of CCCBI has helped me accomplish many business goals in such a short amount of time.”

“The CCCBI team is a small group, but VERY MIGHTY with the actions, support and relationship-building you provide to the Chester County Business Community! I've been in my share of "Chambers" over the years... and the interaction I've had with CCCBI’s Team, the information provided weekly via emails and the plans you have put together - are truly superior to any other Chamber I've been a part of! Thank you for helping me as we enter your community and try to have an impact while growing our business. This truly has been a great experience so far - and I look forward to getting more involved and participating/helping as I can.”

"Looking back, I was only four months into my business — and I felt like I was doing all the things. But something was missing. I wanted to work hard, but I also wanted to work smart — and I just knew there had to be a better way than filling every single hour of the day. I still remember the afternoon I sat down and emailed my dear friend Laura, who’s not just a connector, she’s a problem solver. She put my worries at ease, encouraged me to attend an event the very next night, and sent a few emails introducing me to some incredible people. One of whom was Callie Kaminskas, Executive Director of Shadow Her. I fell completely in love with it’s mission and am now preparing to finish my entrepreneurship mentorship with the Shadow Her cohort.  Finding my network of people through Laura and the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry didn’t just change my emotional journey — it changed the entire trajectory of my entrepreneurship. I had the passion. I had the dedication and the hard work. I just didn’t have the tools. And they gave me all of that and more."

“Events are always so amazing when curated by CCCBI. At our recent Business Before Business hosted in partnership with the Chamber, we had a lovely turnout and the group was very lively! Our team loved meeting so many new faces. We have already connected with another member who is coming in for a pop up table in our shop next week. We are thrilled to be able to support another business, especially so quickly after making a connection. Thanks so much for always thinking of ANEU for collaboration opportunities!”

“At Greencastle, we are proud members of CCCBI, an organization that has been instrumental in our growth and success. The Chamber’s advocacy, networking opportunities, and unwavering support have empowered businesses like ours to thrive in a dynamic and competitive market. CCCBI is more than a business network—it’s a catalyst for meaningful connections and strategic growth. Through the Chamber, we've engaged with the community in impactful ways, strengthened our presence in the market, and discovered opportunities we never imagined. Their support has been invaluable in our journey. As a 100% Veteran-owned and operated firm, we are especially grateful for the Chamber’s commitment to fostering a strong, collaborative business community. We look forward to continuing this partnership and growing together for years to come!”

“Devon Preparatory School is proud to partner with the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry to provide our students with meaningful opportunities to explore future careers through the CCCBI Youth Leadership Program. We are grateful for the Chamber’s commitment to youth leadership and look forward to the continued growth of this impactful partnership.”
