“Through my involvement with the Chamber's Young Professionals Network over the last 6 years, I have gained access to the city's future business, civic, and non-profit leaders. As a young lawyer in Philadelphia, I have benefited both professionally and personally with the contacts I have made through YPN. To be successful, it's not just ‘who you know', but it's also who knows you, and YPN has provided me with many opportunities to market myself and my firm to Philadelphia's future leaders.”

Richard Fitzgerald

CEO
MaST Community Charter School

“Having moved to Philadelphia (from Berkeley, CA) six months ago, Chamber membership has been one of the most productive and enjoyable aspects of my new professional life. As the CEO of a large Charter School, my challenges are somewhat unique for a Chamber member. The Chamber staff, nonetheless, has been sensitive to my situation and as helpful as possible. I have been able to connect with a broad variety of other owners including fundraising consultants and media professionals. What I've come to realize is that the opportunities afforded by Chamber meetings and networking events are limited only by the time I am willing to give to them. This membership is an extraordinary resource for any non-profit leader.”
