This is my first time being a member of a Chamber of Chamber, and I have to say that I am glad I made the decision to do so. From the time that I set foot inside the office of Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce, I was greeted with such enthusiasm that made me feel like I was welcome there and that they were excited to have me stop by to learn more about how they can help spread the word about my community. Looking forward all the great things this relationship has in store for me and my business.
As a new member, I am very pleased with the information I receive from all to help our business thrive in the Punta Gorda area. I look forward to many more years being involved in the community.

I am a brand new member to the Punta Gorda Chamber. The group is extremely welcoming and very helpful. After joining. I found that there is many different businesses within the chamber that I didnt even knew existed until I joined. As a realtor we have requests from people all over the country looking to move to the area, andmy experience with the chamber has given me a leg up on those whom have not joined. The staff is some of the best people in town....knowledgeable, and most importantly... friendly. Great experience thus far.
Response from the owner: Thank you Don
Being a part of the Chamber has been a huge part of our success as a business. The Chamber president and staff are always eager to provide assistance and support. The Chamber members are truly a great group and very supportive of fellow business and many, many non profit organizations. The many venues and events organized by the Chamber provide great entertainment for both locals and visitors year round. I recommend visiting the website often for both businesses and residents/visitors - full of great information.
Response from the owner: Thank you Rich
Being a Chamber member, we know that our sanctuary will be promoted by the Chamber, the networking and informational lunches we participate in is always helpful to stay out there in front of our community. The Punta Gorda Chamber (and its members) is like an extended family that supports one another because of how the Chamber staff always has our back! We appreciate being included in The Wine and Jazz festival every year, and any other events that will also keep in front of the community and visitors to Punta Gorda, which is imperative for our survival. We are blessed to have such a well run Chamber! So, thank you for all you do for your members!
As a small business owner, I couldn’t ask for a better team on my side. This was my fourth year in business and the staff at the Charlotte County Chamber has always been there to help me grow my business. They always keep the community up to date on what’s going on and always supportive. They are a big part of the GrandCare Plus team, thank you for your support.
Response from the owner: We love our members

The Punta Gorda Chamber, and in particular John Wright, is very pro business and offers numerous productive opportunities to network and meet new contact on a favorable basis. I would highly recommend new and mature businesses to consider membership as a interval part of a marketing plan.

Highly engaged and fun Chamber of Commerce! The staff at The Punta Gorda Chamber is very professional, helpful and care to help our visitors, residents and their members! Keep up the good work!
The Chamber is an invaluable resource for both me and my clients. As a small business owner the networking opportunities are plentiful. But I also find the staff are always willing to assist in any way. I am very comfortable sending clients and visitors to the Chamber as I know they will be well taken care of.
The Punta Gorda Chamber is the best way for businesses and individuals to get involved with the community. The Chamber keeps the community vibrant, diverse and most of all fun.
Always helpful, awesome group of people. Awesome community group, we will stay within our Punta Gorda Chamber because they make you feel welcome.
It was on my to-do list to become a member of this organization for a long time. Finally, this summer I joined. I knew - joining a networking organization also means time commitment (because it's just like a gym, if you don't use your membership, it doesn't work). So, this summer it was about time to do it.The experience was just WOW! I mean, it's not my first chamber membership, I've been in 3 others (still kept membership for one of them) but yes - wow - this is a very new experience. I thought Punta Gorda is a tiny town, very calm etc... but I was so wrong. The activities are great, so many events and opportunities to connect with other people and so many opportunities to market our business. And the president is the most active I've ever seen and really caring. He is not just doing his job, I believe there is true passion behind this and this helps a lot to put this organization into this what it is right now. A buzzing swarm of great people, open to connect, talk, network. It's a really great experience and I just recently said to another new member, I should have joined much earlier.
The Punta Gorda Chamber is a must have asset for the business community. It is an epicenter for business information with endless networking opportunities to promote your business throughout the community. The friendships are endless and the community pride enormous.
Response from the owner: Truly appreciate your kind words
