Michael Straub of Michael Straub Photography says: āI want to take a moment to thank the Carbon County Chamber staff, and especially, Alice, for the hard work they do! As a member, I find it difficult to get to events and have learned that's ok! Alice took over an hour of her day to meet with me and provide me with great opportunities and information to help grow my business! If you go to a card exchange or some other event that is great, but Alice showed me that it is possible to utilize the Chambers services and resources in so many other ways! Just sitting with her and listening provided me with many leads. She, along with the entire staff, truly understand that running a business is difficult and challenging and that their job is not to let me know about events to attend but to really work at helping businesses grow and make real connections!"
