	Joining the North Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce has been one of the best decisions I have done to promote Omega Automotive in the community I work. The success of the chamber for me has been based on building relationships with other members. I have always believed that belonging to the chamber creates a sense of accountability. Every member strives to be the best at what they do; that is the only way one can be a long time member of this organization. I joined in 2002 and since then I have added many new customers who have become regular customers. The chamber works when you work at it. Participating in the monthly events as well as the clusters is how I have gotten my name in the community of chamber members. To any motivated business person who is serious about building new business associates, I highly recommend joining this chamber. The members of this chamber are a great group of professionals who are motivated to help the progress of all their fellow members; the amount of referrals that go back and forth among members attest to that.

	NVRCC helped me in growing my business, through their wonderful networking opportunities. I joined in May 2005 and became a member in the North Valley Professionals Networking Group formerly know as the Home Improvement Cluster and was warmly welcomed. The chamber has provided me with at least 15% of my business revenue year after year. NVRCC was the first business group that I joined, and throughout the years I’ve joined others and none have given me the results this chamber has. Also, being part of the chamber has allowed me to build life long friendships and business relationships. They are a community-involved chamber and are always looking for ways to help. If you are serious about growing your business and being involved with a wonderful group of business owners than NVRCC is the place for you.

	I joined the Chamber in November of 2008. Not only have I made many new friends, but I have also received lots of referrals that have turned into clients thanks to the Chamber. The money made from these referrals effectively covers my membership costs, and then some, for years to come. The key to my success was joining, staying active, and honesty Ali Golriz   Hovee's Auto Body  ________________________________________________________________

	I can't believe I waited so long to join the NVRCC because others told me that Chambers did not work. When I finally did join, I found out that was only their experience. Mine is one filled with successful business connections, referrals, friendships and uplifting life experiences. My business has grown exponentially since joining the NVRCC in both clients and income. I have had the opportunity to use the services of those with whom I network and to refer business to these individuals. It's the best long-term business decision I ever made. Robin Kellogg R.
