Nonprofit Neighbors - Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce
In this edition of Nonprofit Neighbors, host Ryan Malyar, Executive Director at WMCT-TV, talks with Michelle Mercier, President and CEO of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the Chamber's impact on Marlboroughâs business and nonprofit community. Each autumn, Nonprofit Neighbors spotlights local organizations that not only give back but also build the fabric of our communityâand todayâs episode celebrates the Chamber's contributions in this space.
Michelle provides an in-depth look at how the Chamber of Commerce supports nearly 330 members, ranging from solo entrepreneurs to large-scale businesses. She shares how the Chamber fosters vital connections within Marlborough through a wide variety of events, including regular networking meetups, referral groups, and signature annual celebrations like the Chamberâs upcoming 100th-anniversary gala. These events create opportunities for local businesses to form lasting partnerships and meaningful connections that strengthen the local economy.
The conversation also highlights the Chamberâs unique commitment to supporting local businesses, especially during the holiday season with a âshop localâ initiative. Michelle explains how the Chamber helps businesses thrive through advocacy, community-building, and encouraging residents to support nearby companies instead of turning to national chains. She passionately describes the Chamber as a âcommunity home,â where businesses come together not just to exchange cards, but to truly invest in one anotherâs success.
Michelle also touches on the Chamberâs identity as a nonprofit organization, addressing common misconceptions. She clarifies that, as a 501(c)(6), the Chamber is mission-driven and focuses on service to its members rather than on generating profits.
