"The Chamber is the most awesome resource for networking opportunities! Most of all the staff is a great resource, they know all the Chamber businesses and are always available to help. They have certainly lived up to their great reputation." |
 Rick Nagele
Advantage Marketing Information | Make an Investment in Your Community... and Your Business "I joined the Chamber to contribute to community while helping my business grow. A double win!
Central Rhode Island Chamber staff and volunteers invested 3,304 hours in strengthening our region and building partnerships last year. And this doesn’t include troubleshooting for members – a real benefit, when the system bites back. Oh the phone calls I’ve heard!
I’ve been a member for 23 years. Considering the modest dues, I can’t even calculate the ROI (the number would be so big, you just wouldn’t believe it). So check out the Central Rhode Island Chamber for yourself." |

Webster Bank | Welcome to Central Rhode Island "Guests and new residents spend money and tell others about our community. The Chamber helps create great experiences by getting people the information they need to enjoy their visit... or their life here." |
