Broomfield area chamber ribbon cutting 
Pat Monacelli, CEO of the Broomfield Area Chamber shared information about the local business landscape during his address. The Chamber was created even before Broomfield was a town and it continues to promote the economic vitality of our community. Pat indicated that the Chamber has about 550 members of which more than 80% have less than 25 employees. The Chamber offers several education sessions and leads networking groups together with their popular coffee and beer socials. A growing area of focus is advocacy work through which the Chamber takes decisive stances on key state legislation that impacts local business. At the end of Pat's presentation we celebrated our club's continued membership in the Chamber with a ribbon cutting.
