“While The Carmel Foundation is over 70 years old, I've only been back in the area for 6 months, so being a member of the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has been a great way to get reoriented, meet new people, learn about current issues, and who is doing what to make our region a better place to live, work and play. I also find the Business Roundtable Recaps in the chamber's newsletter are really useful and well done. Overall being a member has been a wonderful resource and I am pleased to recommend the chamber.”
