What our members have to say?

“Stella Maris has benefited in countless ways from our membership in the Chamber.  We had the pleasure of hosting a Chamber luncheon, as well as an After Hours event.  Because of these opportunities, many Chamber members were able to enjoy the beauty of this very special place, most for the first time.  As a result, some have reserved space at the Center for meetings and/or conferences.  In turn, we have met many of the merchants and professionals that our guests frequent during their stays here at Stella Maris.  It is a mutually valuable relationship."

Gerrie Kaluzny, Director
Stella Maris Retreat Center

"From the concrete advantage of listings in the Chamber literature, to the broader value of co-operating with an active group of businesses and professionals for the benefit of our community, we have found our participation in the Chamber to be of great benefit over the years."

“The economic, environmental and cultural health of the local community is of paramount importance to us. The Chamber provides us with an opportunity to have an impact as well as to return to the community some of the good will we have received."

"Participation in the Chamber gives me a feeling that I'm helping create the business atmosphere in Skaneateles rather than just react to it."

“The Chamber provides the primary way that businesses can get together and discuss common  problems and help further a sense of community among the many and diverse businesses here.  The various committees allow for input to the rest of the community on issues like parking, access, visibility and commentary on community needs.”
