2026 JSCC TESTIMONIALS
The Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce has truly been such a gem to come across. They host meaningful events and workshops that are actually helpful (not just filler), and they’re amazing at keeping members informed and spotlighted. Where some chambers miss the mark, this one really gets it. And Evelyn? Absolute rockstar. You can feel her heart and hustle in everything they do.
Bonnie Brown, Jersey Shore Food Tours
The Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce offers so many opportunities – from referrals to networking to events where we can share our knowledge and educate other business owners about what we can bring to the table. I also appreciate the variety of events – weekly breakfasts, evening happy hours, lunches, and big signature events. This variety makes it so easy for busy business owners to pop in and participate when it’s convenient. The chamber also shares our posts on social media as a part of the membership, which is an easy and effective way to increase awareness.
You definitely get out of the chamber what you put into it. Put in the time and effort, and you’ll get even more out of it. When I was a newer member, the chamber leadership suggested ways for me to get involved and volunteer. Working on committees like the Women’s Conference, Golf Outing, or BizExpo is such a great way to get to know people one-on-one and grow my business.
Most important of all, the chamber is welcoming. The office staff is always helpful and responsive to my calls. When I go to an event, it never feels cliquey; I feel more like I’m meeting up with friends. I often say that if I’m having a bad day at work, I’ll make myself go to a chamber event. I always leave feeling better about everything. It really lifts my spirits to be surrounded by others who may be going through the same things in their businesses. We can commiserate and share our struggles openly and honestly – it’s almost like free counseling. Seriously, the camaraderie at the chamber fills up my tank and gives me the motivation to succeed. They’re a wonderful group!

The Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce is a great group of business-minded individuals that also happen to be great people. There are tons of different events each year that appeal to a wide range of interests and plenty of opportunities to connect with other businesses and have fun doing it. If you like to have fun while doing business, this is the group for you.
Stephen Chisholm Jr., Aspen Companies
The Jersey Shore Chamber stands out for the variety and consistency of its events. I especially value the women’s luncheons, which thoughtfully address real challenges facing women in business. There’s always something happening, and the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming. It’s the most comfortable and authentic networking environment I’ve experienced since starting my business four years ago.
Shannon Clark Johnston, True HR
The Jersey Shore Chamber is more than just a networking group. Between coffee connectors, happy hours, educational speakers, and major events like the Women’s Conference and BizExpo, members have many opportunities to get involved, have fun, spotlight their businesses, meet professionals from across the Jersey Shore area, and develop trusted relationships as collaborators and clients. Experience for yourself what the chamber can offer your business!
Colleen Craig, Jersey Shore Marketing & Insights
The Jersey Shore Chamber has been my business “family.” There are days where you’re not as motivated. Chamber members are there at every Wednesday’s Coffee Connector to boost each other up. I’m very grateful to the Chamber.
Gregory Hunt, TD Bank
The Jersey Shore Chamber has helped me build valuable local business relationships and increase awareness of my Payroll Vault business within the community. The networking events and member connections have led to meaningful conversations, referrals, and opportunities to collaborate with other business owners. The events are also fun, welcoming, and a great way to stay connected with the local business community.
