What Our Members Are Saying:
"We are thrilled to be
new members!" Kelly Bigel, Regional Spa Sales
Specialist, Red Door Spas (Red Door Spas joined the
GGCC May 2010)
"The GGCC has been a crucial facet
of my successful business. As a new business owner back
in 2002, the GGCC welcomed me and made me feel part of a
larger whole. Instead of being a business owner on her
own, I was part of an organization of businesses. I got
my first, third, and fourth clients through my
membership in the GGCC. More important than getting new
clients (which is pretty important), I continue to be
part of an organization that has my needs as a business
at heart. I may not partake in the political machine,
but the GGCC looks out for me through its legislative
agenda and involvement. While I may not spend as much
time volunteering and being part of the community as I'd
like, I'm able to donate money and goods through the
GGCC's service projects. I make a difference through
volunteering on various committees. As a member of
the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce, I'm
part of a community, a community of businesses. " Dawn Goldberg, Chief Writing Officer, Write Well
University
"My home computer got infected with a virus and several
friends tried to help me fix the problem. They even had
me buy an anti-virus program and I thought I was all
set. A few days later the virus was back and I was not
able to access the internet. I thought of calling Dan
Videlock from D & M Consulting, since I know him from
the Chamber meetings. I called him in the morning and
he was able to come to my house within a couple of
hours. He was able to fix my problem, installed an
exterior hard drive to back up my files and was finished
within 1 1/2 hours. His fee was reasonable and the fact
that he came to me, was very convenient. I had to
contact him for a few other questions and he immediately
got back with me. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan
to my family and friends for any computer related
problems."
Gizelle Petit,
Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager, Sandy Spring
Bank regarding Daniel Videlock of D&M Consulting
"When I started my business I looked to
join and actively participate in organizations that
would not only help grow my business but also support my
business and my professional goals. I am in involved in
several professional organizations but one of the best
for meeting this criteria has been the
Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce. The
Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce has allowed
me to interact with some of the finest business owners
and professionals in the area. The variety of events is
designed to allow participation and professional
development with all types of schedules so whether
mornings, lunchtime or evenings are better you can still
find ways to be involved. When people ask me what I like
about my chamber I feel confident saying I think it’s
one of the best chambers in the state of Maryland."
Colette Releford, President, Strive Business Solutions,

"On March 23, 2010 I attended the Grow your Business
Expo sponsored by the Gaithersburg Germantown Chamber of
Commerce. Klinger and Associates, member of the
chamber, had a table set up to promote their independent
insurance agency. I met Kevin Walsh and we discussed
the services they offer. I completed a form with my
contact information. The week of March 29 Kevin called
me to see if he can come to my place of business to
discuss my auto and homeowners insurance. I agreed to a
meeting and I brought him my current policies for him to
review. He shopped several insurance agencies and
informed me that he could save me $1000 per year on my
auto policy for the same coverage with Hartford
Insurance. The homeowners insurance would be slightly
higher for the same coverage. Mr. Walsh made the change
easy for me, coming to my place and completing all the
forms. I would recommend him and his company to other
Chamber of Commerce members." Gizelle Petit,
Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager, Sandy Spring
