From The President

What's more annoying than "Back to School" ads that begin running in July, when summer vacation has just begun?  Whether as parents or students I think we all appreciate a little bit of space between the end of the school year and the onslaught of school advertising. 

So I hope you'll forgive a little back to school advertising here.  The Chamber is very excited to announce a new initiative designed to raise awareness of the activities of our Education and Business Committee and raise needed funds for the Neponset Valley Leadership Institute (NVLI).  On Thursday, October 24^th we will hold our first-ever Spelling Bee for member businesses.  The event promises to be lots of fun with a little friendly competition as well. 

Local businesses can enroll a team of three people to square off against others to see who will earn bragging rights (and a cool "bee" trophy) as the region's best spellers!  We are currently recruiting a local celebrity to serve as the official pronouncer of the words and we will have a panel of local school administrators acting as judges. 

The NVCC Education and Business Committee is dedicated to strengthening the partnership between local businesses and Neponset Valley Area School Districts and the Spelling Bee is a great way to... Read more.

28th Annual Golf Tournament Benefiting the Mass Hospital School 

Join the NVCC for the 28th Annual Golf Tournament at the beautiful Easton Country Club for a day of amazing golf, fun, prizes and delicious food - all for a great cause!

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Massachusetts Hospital School; an organization dedicated to providing habilitative, rehabilitative, recreational, educational and vocational services to children and young adults with multiple disabilities, assisting them to achieve their maximum level of independence in all aspects of life.

Matty Christian - middle with other MHS Counselors and student

The donation will be made in the memory of Matty Christian, a former student of the Mass Hospital School, who never let anything stand in his way of accomplishing everything he put his mind to. From swimming to baseball, this remarkable young man did it all.

After graduating from Canton High School, Matty went on to earn his Bachelors Degree from Bryant College and a MBA from Curry College. He also spent time as an motivational speaker for those with disabilities (and without) and volunteered at the Mass Hospital School. Matty was truly a mentor and inspiration to so many.

Please be a part of this special day as we honor the Mass Hospital School and the legacy of an amazing young man.

Even if you do not play golf, this tournament is a great way to get involved and show your support for the Mass Hospital School. We are currently looking for gift card donations and silent auction items. Please help in any way you can. Contact Cristoff at 781-769-1126, or cristoff@nvcc.com.

 A Fresh Prospective

Zach Maltz, NVCC Communications Intern

I suppose I was naive in regard to my first noon networking event because I did not know what to expect. Prior to the event I experienced a myriad of emotions. Was I reluctant to share information about my aspirations and my personal life? No, I was eager to do so and to obtain feedback from others. However, I was a little dubious about whether or not I could properly articulate what my experiences with the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce had been like so far. I knew that the purpose of me interning at the Chamber was to better distinguish what really piqued my interest in the business field, however I did not have that much experience with the Chamber itself. After all it was only my second day working with the Chamber. However, all of this was about to change.

At the event I was directed to sit at table five. At my table were four women all in different industries. In addition to me, the table consisted of a real estate agent, a hotel manager, an attorney, and a manager at a fitness center. All four of these women were very kind and had very interesting backgrounds. After hearing about all of their jobs and experiences it was my turn to speak. I started discussing my school, family, and business aspirations. All four of these women were very interested in what I was saying and gave me great feedback. After the event culminated, I felt like I exerted myself very well at my table. The event proved to be a great introduction to the Chamber and how it successfully brings together companies and organizations from all industries in the Neponset Valley. Barring, this experience my internship would have been completely different because I would not have the same perspective on how the Chamber operates.

Break Through!

Would you like to double your company's sales, but keep hitting that proverbial wall? Don't just stand there, be a barrier smasher!

Not so long ago, salespeople were in power because they had information buyers needed. Today, buyers are in command because everything they need to research products, services, and companies is freely available on the web.

How can you break the sales barrier and drive more customers to your business and services in a digital world?
