Testimonials
“In the years that I have served [on the Board of Directors], I have become even
more impressed with the dedication, professionalism, positive attitude, and
proactive nature of this board. This was a very exciting change for me. It is
important for Shure to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce and for me to be
part of the Chamber Board of Directors because one of Shure’s core values
states that ‘we are good Corporate citizens and neighbor.’ I take this
commitment seriously.”
- Sandy LaMantia, President, Shure Incorporated
“Since our involvement, we have developed solid business relationships with
many Chamber Members. The networking and the multi-chamber business expo event
was very successful for us….We are proud to be members of the Niles Chamber and
we certainly appreciate all the great benefits that have been shared with us.”
- Tom Kraft, Director of Sales & Marketing, Holiday Inn North Shore
“Being a Niles Chamber member has proven to be very beneficial to Golf Mill
Mall. Golf Mill was under a very tight deadline and was looking for a chamber
business to deliver an excellent product within a short time frame. The
community guide was a great resource to find a business to meet our needs and
execute a successful event.”
Regina Verdico, Marketing Manager, Golf Mill Shopping Center
