Greetings!
I want to thank our members for the outreach and growth we've experienced this year. Please continue to forward our events and networking opportunities to your friends and colleagues. Also remember to support other Chamber members this holiday season. See you at the holiday gala! - Executive Director Paul Morris
The Women in Business luncheon on November 4th was the most successful one yet! The amazing speaker was Connie Whitman, Sales Trainer Executive, who presented the topic "Sales Loop To Success". There were nearly 70 attendees at the luncheon, sponsored by the Provident Bank in Hazlet.
 
The Chamber Education Committee presented a free Business Empowerment & Success Seminar. The presenter was Cliff Moore of I'm Impressed, Inc., and the topic was "Your 30 Second
Impression".
Cliff shared valuable information about enhancing your own brand. This
was the first of several seminars Cliff will be presenting - don't miss
the next one!

Business Testimonials
 From Toni Passantino of Printech Business Systems
I'd like to thank Ken Scaggs of J.F. Murray Co., Inc. for help with my
home and auto insurance. Not only did he save me money, but he made the
process simple and convenient.
From Nicole Lerario of A Kneaded Vacation
Bernice Lopez has a wonderfully
warm and attentive presence. She was thorough and helpful and patient
in helping me organize my financial goals. I look forward to working
more with her and Affinity Federal Credit Union.
From Alyse Liebowitz of 3 Chicks That Click Photography
I would like to also thank Bernice Lopez of Affinity Federal Credit Union. I had left the Credit Union several years ago before Bernice was there to make so many positive changes. She reached out to me in such a professional, caring, friendly way that I became a member again. Bernice is truly a people pleaser!
And a big THANK YOU to Bob Salerno of the Lincroft Post Office for all his helpful postal advice.
