It’s no surprise that today’s economy is handing us all a lot of challenges.

Sales are down, unemployment is up, and we’re all wondering what we can do to turn it around.

One of your most powerful tools is your Pinellas Park/Gateway Chamber of Commerce membership.

At the Chamber, we’re focused on helping you build your business success with our business directory, a searchable list that helps visitors to our site find you, and gives your business greater pull in online search engines.

Our office has connections to local, county, and state resources.

We host monthly networking breakfasts and lunch programs, and our own members share their expertise during these meetings, and even offer classes at Park Station to give you additional knowledge and skills to boost your business.

And now, we have a blog that we can use to provide quick insights and tips that you can use every day.

Let us know what you think. Post your comments. Give us ideas to include here.

We’re all working for the same thing: a vibrant economy where we can all thrive.
