What Our Members Say About Us

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because it demonstrates our organization's interest in being supportive and active members of the community.

Danny Adams, St. Louis Regional Airport

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because I can offer my customers the resources/ referrals that they might need to assist in their day-to-day activities/ needs.

Martha Schultz, First Mid Bank & Trust

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because it helps us build relationships, grow awareness, and stay connected!!

Boston Talley, Refuge

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because it keeps my business engaged, visible and invested in our community values. 

Alana Yount, Waggoner Equipment Rentals, LLC

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because it brings awareness about the importance of being the eyes and ears for vulnerable children in our community.

Erin Bickle, Refuge

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because beyond visibility and networking, membership gives us a voice in regional business conversations. RBGA serves as a forum where issues like workforce development, education, infrastructure, and economic policy are discussed in ways that directly impact companies like ours. Being at the table ensures we can help shape the environment we operate in - and contribute to initiatives that build a strong pipeline for future talent and industry growth.

Jane Saale, Cope Plastics, Inc.

Being a Chamber member is valuable to my business because the networking that is provided is unmatchable. You only get out of it what you put into it, but if you attend on a regular basis, it is a vital connection.

Christy Schult, Community Hope Center
