What Our Members Are Saying
“... here to champion local business..."
"At the heart of our work is people—our business owners, volunteers, partners, and community members. The Waverly Chamber of Commerce & Main Street is here to champion local businesses, activate our downtown, and help Waverly thrive through connection, collaboration, and shared pride in place."
— Chelsea Petersen, Waverly Chamber of Commerce & Main Street executive director
"... consistently share valuable information..."
"What I truly appreciate about the Waverly Chamber of Commerce is their genuine presence in my business. They don’t just support from a distance—they come in, enjoy our goods and services, and engage with us on both a personal and professional level. Even more importantly, they consistently share valuable information about events, grants, and opportunities that I might not have discovered on my own. To me, that’s exactly what a Chamber of Commerce should be about—active support, connection, and advocacy for local businesses."
— David Thompson, Get Roasted Coffee Company
“... genuinely invested in your success...”
“Since becoming a Chamber Member, the connections I’ve made to local individuals and businesses have been truly invaluable. It’s not just about networking — it’s about finding a community of people who are genuinely invested in your success and the success of our community. The resources, support, and collaboration opportunities have helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’ve seen firsthand how this kind of local investment creates a stronger, more vibrant business environment for all of us.”
— Dani Gordon, 1Vision Communications
"... professional growth in Waverly."
“Participating in the Waverly Chamber and Main Street’s Project Lead program was an excellent experience. It gave me a unique ‘backstage pass’ to Waverly, letting me see how our community truly works behind the scenes and tours of places I would otherwise not have seen – like the county jail. The program helped me network with local organizations and pushed me to get more involved in my community. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take their next step for professional growth in Waverly.”
— Andrew Bell, PRA
