Testimonials

"I joined the CCAACC shortly after relocating to Austin from Arizona.  It wasn't until I attended my first Round Table discussion as a member, that I felt as though I could now call Austin my home.  The Chamber gave me a sense of completeness, both socially and professionally.  I was welcomed with open arms and they have done as much as possible to help support my business growth.  I look forward to giving back to the Chamber."

- Shalana D. Poole, Financial Advisor

"I have been a member of the Chamber since 2006.  My first meeting was a Breakfast Welcome. Since that morning I have felt like I made a great investment into an organization that is very well known. The Chamber has not only grown since I became a member but my business recognition has too. I have been introduced and networked with a variety of other business owners through many functions of the Chamber.  So being a member is a plus.  I am proud to be an ambassador of the CCAACC. I look forward to the Chamber and my company continuing to grow together."

- Bridget C. Thomas, President of Pretty Clean Auto Detailing Service, Inc.

"As an active member of the chamber, I took advantage of the free conference room by conducting financial seminars twice a month in the evenings.  The chamber staff was eager to accommodate me and ensure that the room was set up and ready when I arrived.  I was able to increase my business significantly with these seminars.  I was also fortunate in that the chamber staff consistently sent me referrals that I was able to turn into viable business."

“The Capital City African American Chamber of Commerce has been an invaluable resource in providing the requisite avenues that allow me to grow my business. As the owner of a management consulting company, I can safely state that the relationships that I have cultivated through my involvement with CCAACC have been tremendously rewarding, and have afforded me access to legitimate, revenue-creating business opportunities that I would never have been able to access otherwise.   In addition, I am honoured to have been asked by Dr. Eugene to lead the Ambassadors program associated with the Chamber; it is our pleasure to represent CCAACC at various functions and events throughout Austin and beyond.  I can state unequivocally that as long as my company is in business, I will be a proud member of this wonderful organization.”

"Becoming a member of the Chamber has been extremely beneficial. I made immediate contacts at the very first Chamber event that I attended! Since joining, I volunteer in many capacities, most recently becoming an Ambassador to welcome new members and represent the Chamber at functions. In return, I have increased my business, built long-lasting personal and business relationships as well as developed my community outreach capacities. This was an investment that has more than paid for itself!”
