When I joined Gaithersburg Chamber 32 years ago as a staffer for a regional CPA Firm, I hardly knew anyone. Over the next few years I joined the Finance Committee, which led to a board position, and involvement in the merger with the Germantown Chamber. After my board tenure ended, we became the independent CPA firm for GGCC for several years. Along this journey, our intimate working relationships with GGCC staff and board members allowed us to form deeper business and personal bonds in the Upper MoCo community. The successes of our firm are directly tied to the seeds we planted with GGCC many years ago, and clearly prove that our membership has indeed increased the value of our business. We are honored to continue our membership into the future, and we strongly believe that the GGCC management team, board, committees, and sponsors are better than ever!
