Being part of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce isn’t just about paying dues or adding a badge to your website — it’s about joining a local network of people who care about this community and want to see each other succeed.
I’ve officially been a Chamber member through David Martin Design since at least 2021, but my ties go back even further. I still have emails from 2009, when I was part of the Young Professionals group, soaking up all the networking and learning opportunities I could.
Fast forward to today, and I’m still grateful for the connections, visibility, and resources the Chamber provides. From local advocacy to business referrals, community partnerships, and even media features like the recent spotlight on Raymond joining our team — the Chamber continues to create space for real relationships and shared success.
Whether it’s co-hosting events at The Mill, showing up for ribbon cuttings, or contributing to the directory, this organization has consistently supported my business and the clients I serve. And I’m not alone — over 850 businesses strong, the Chamber plays a big role in shaping our local economy and building momentum for Monroe County.
To the Chamber team: thank you. I appreciate your work, your outreach, and your support. And if you’re a small business owner in Bloomington wondering whether it’s worth joining — it is. I’ve experienced the long-game value of staying engaged, showing up, and being part of something larger than myself.
Let’s keep growing together.
