Member Testimonials

My friend Kevin Lee has been singing the praises of the PW chamber since he joined. He talked about the caliber of the members, the staff’s sincere interest in helping him meet the right people, and of course the business connections he’s made. He was not mistaken!

In January, I attended a ribbon cutting the Chamber hosted for a new luxury apartment complex in Woodbridge. I made lots of connections, including the event planner for the leasing office at the apartment complex! I’ve already done two resident wine tastings with a third on the way. Recently I attended a Chamber Check in where I got to spend time in a smaller setting with fellow members. Just the other day, someone from that Check In reached out about doing a private guided wine tasting for his wedding anniversary.

All of this in less than 5 months of membership!

"The Tru by Hilton Manassas team and I are so very thrilled with the services provided by every member of the Prince William Chamber Team. They are each amazing in their very own way and collectively they are a force of which I am proud to be associated. Debbie and her group of professional women are smart, determined and customer-driven. Being a part of this Chamber certainly helped to put our new hotel on the map by introducing me to every “need to know” service, individual and company. Regardless of when I would send an email, the speed of the replies and the information contained was stellar. They not only care about the success of my business but also about what they can do for me to take us to the next level. I am honored to be a part of this Chamber as it most certainly made all the difference. Brava, ladies!"

1st thing I did after opening my insurance business almost 30 years ago was to join the Chamber! Best investment! I immediately became active in multiple committees, joined the board of directors, became a founding member and attended just about all events. My chamber membership is the reason I have a successful business. At one time I was involved in 4 organizations and was active with the chamber for each of them! Yes, I loved my chamber then and after the COVID positive support I love it more today!!!

We’ve been an active member of the Chamber for 30 years and I cannot stress the importance of the networking of business associates enough. I’ve found great construction trades and consultants, been awarded remodeling jobs at members’ homes, built new homes for members, and completed commercial construction projects with members and their companies. The chamber is an invaluable asset to local businesses."

"Joining the PW Chamber was one of the best business decisions I've ever made. New, to the Northern Va. I was apprehensive about meeting potential clients, peers and where to get busy volunteering in my passion areas. I was able to identify all of this through one business membership...the Chamber! Besides business networking, you WILL find a committee, council or event that is sure to meet your interest(s). No invitation needed, just jump in!...that is what I experienced since day ONE."

Jinnae Monroe, Managing Member, Professionals By Design & HireGround, Inc.

"I’ve been a member of the Prince William Chamber for over 13 years. As a Northern Virginia company we have a choice of a number of Chambers to join.

It’s an incredible organization focused on its members and community needs. I would highly recommend this Chamber for any company wanting to connect and grow."
