Quotes:
“The Business Expo is one of our favorite ways to introduce people to what’s new and what’s possible in the Amherst Area. This event puts emerging and growing businesses in the same room as established employers, community partners, and neighbors who want to shop local and build relationships. Whether you come to discover a new service, sample a product, or simply meet the people behind the storefronts, you’ll leave with new connections and a stronger sense of what makes our local economy thrive.” - Jacob Robinson, Executive Director of Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce
“At Greenfield Savings Bank, we believe a strong local economy is built on relationships. The Business Expo is a practical, high-energy way to help small businesses get visibility, build customer connections, and meet partners who can help them grow. We’re proud to sponsor an event that strengthens the Amherst Area business community and keeps resources circulating locally.” - Kyle Dumas, AVP & Amherst Branch Manager, Greenfield Savings Bank
“Entrepreneurship takes a village to be successful. For me the Expo is an opportunity to creatively promote my business, meet collaborators, learn about new resources, and find the people who are genuinely interested in investing in others' success. Since I provide services and don't have a store front, I'm excited to be able to share what I do in person and to explore a range of new and established businesses that make the Amherst Area such an inspiring place to build something new.” - Jennifer Faulkner, Founder, Innovate Culture Lab and Chamber Board Member
