“

“Leadership Resources was incorporated on 1/3/2003. Twenty years later I reflect back and realize how wise my advisors were when they said “join the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce”. It was one of the first, if not the very first check I wrote. The money I spent has been a great investment for our firm and community. I encourage all businesses to join and get active in this top-notch organization.”

- Boyd Ober, Leadership Resources

“One of our first business decisions when coming to Lincoln was to reach out to the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has provided many networking opportunities and has helped to get our name into the community. Maven highly values this relationship with the Chamber, as they have allowed us to make a lasting impact on Lincoln.”

- Lizett Nissenson, Maven Tile & Stone

Through the Chamber, I have met an amazing core group of folks, small and large business owners, and decision makers alike. I felt immediately welcomed. The ambassador group has allowed me to get involved in ribbon-cuttings where I get to promote our business and cheer on fellow entrepreneurs. The chamber has always responded and collaborated to help fix business obstacles and has been by our side to celebrate our milestones. Shannon always makes sure we’re aware of upcoming chamber events, special groups and membership opportunities. She truly is a great resource for any business to have!”
