-TESTIMONIAL-
Ive been very happy to take advantage of the networking opportunities that the South Jersey Chamber of Commerce affords its members. Not only is the networking enough to justify the monetary value of being part of the Chamber, but the caliber of the speakers is truly phenomenal. As a sports guy, its been a tremendous pleasure to hear from the likes of Ed Stefanski, Michael Barkann and Tim McDermott. I would certainly recommend joining the Chamber to a SJ business looking to broaden their contacts in this area.
