See what our Chamber Members say about us!

“Since becoming a member of the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, I have found a true
sense of community, connection, and purpose. The Chamber has provided me with the platform to
not only promote and grow my business but, more importantly, to give back to the very community
that supports us.

As a small business owner and a proud member of six local Chambers of Commerce, I firmly believe that success is built through relationships, collaboration, and service. The greater Port Jefferson Chamber stands beside its business owners, creating opportunities for networking, mutual growth, and community engagement.

It takes a village to raise our children — and it certainly takes a strong, supportive community to help small businesses thrive. Being a part of this Chamber has made it easier for me to connect with like-minded individuals, contribute to meaningful initiatives, and support other local businesses. I am grateful to be part of a Chamber that truly embodies the spirit of togetherness, leadership, and giving back.”

“Thank you Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, for all the events you plan and host. Health & Wellness is just one of many. Both residents and visitors, many who are here for the first time, join in
the fun and shop my store. Our Free Standing Historic Chamber House, not only provides a staffed office, but is also a visitor center. Membership Dues helps provide the financial support for the Chamber to perform its job and bring economic prosperity to the area. You’re the best… See you down town!

“The Chamber of Commerce is a wonderful asset to our small business community in Port Jefferson. I’m grateful for a collective network where local business owners can collaborate and share ideas.
As a horticulturist, owning a plant shop in a beautiful town like Port Jefferson for the past five years has been a wonderful experience and we deeply appreciate the Chamber’s unwavering support.”

“Without a doubt the Port Jefferson Chamber has helped my small business. Without Barbara’s emails, I wouldn’t have found out about small business grant opportunities that were available to me. I applied for and received a grant in December that helped my business immensely. Small businesses are challenged right now but having a proactive chamber with such great outreach to the members has been invaluable. Thank you PJ Chamber of Commerce!”

“Huner’s Fitness Advantage came to Port Jefferson Village in October of 2018. We were a new business, first time in a commercial space, with many unknowns, including Covid 19 shutdowns six months later. The Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce (PJCC) and Barbara Ransome were and continue to be an invaluable resource. Barbara Ransome is a great liaison with many contacts for resources, information, and expediting issues. I would recommend joining PJCC to benefit from its broad scope of resources, especially Barbara Ransome’s efforts to assist and resolve!”

“We are grateful for the ongoing support we receive from the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. Recently, the PJCC was instrumental in helping us secure funding from PSEG for Umbrellas and stands, making our deck an inviting location to enjoy Kilwins confections and the sights of Port Jefferson Village.“

“I’d just like to take a moment to say I am very impressed. I should note that my organization has 10 offices throughout Nassau /Suffolk & as such we are involved with many Chambers of Commerce-none of which do as remarkable a job as PJCC. I am proud we are a part of it!“

Barbara-

I’d like to thank you for once again providing myself and my team with an absolutely special day. Through their smiles, our first-timers immediately told me to sign them up for next year.

I can’t fathom how many hours of planning and worry you’ve spent to help ensure another day of flawlessly executed racing, but it shows.

The boats were much better than last year’s provider. I hope you were as satisfied as the rest of us.

Thank you again for all of your efforts. I hope the Village of Port Jefferson realizes, like the rest us, how special you are and how lucky we are to have you.
