Leadership

The Greater Meriden Chamber takes a proactive leadership role in moving, improving and positively changing the communities we serve. Through our daily participation, we cause results and create a roadmap for our future.

No projects ever get done by themselves. They require vision and action through leadership; that is where the Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce makes a difference. We inform and engage our staff and membership in the economic development, workforce development and business development projects in the towns we serve and in the region.
