Announcing The New Pennsauken-Merchantville Area Chamber Of Commerce
An Open Letter By Tim Ellis, Chair, Pennsauken-Merchantville Area Chamber Of Commerce
The Business, Industry and Government Council was established in 1982 by the Township of Pennsauken and local businesses to assist in developing, promoting and encouraging greater and more successful business and industrial activity in Pennsauken Township.
The council was dormant for some time and it was rejuvenated by a group of Pennsauken business owners in December 2009. Since then, the B.I.G. Council has played a vital part in both the business and residential communities of Pennsauken. The B.I.G. Council has provided networking opportunities and business to business commerce and has raised thousands of dollars to give back to the Pennsauken community for numerous events that could no longer be funded by the Township due to state-wide reduction of funds.
To foster a vision of area growth, we are excited to announce that a new entity has been formed in order to expand our boundaries and our membership: The Pennsauken-Merchantville Area Chamber of Commerce (P.M.A.C.).
