We just spent the last two days participating in the annual Lancaster Chamber of Commerce Expo, our first. What a great experience! In my career I’ve participated in many national and international trade shows, this was my first at a local chamber expo. If you own a small business and have not taken the opportunity to participate, I highly recommend you do. This was by far the best use of time and money spent of all our 2013 marketing efforts.  The sense you’ll get at this expo is that you’re amongst friends, even with your competitors. That we’re all in this together, pulling for the success of the entire Lancaster Business community.

Many thanks to Tom Baldridge, Michelle Landis and the many other dedicated Chamber employees that pull this event together and help make Lancaster not just a great place to live, but a great place to be in business. No wonder they were named Chamber of the year.
