Testimonials
“Throughout the COVID pandemic, Animas Surgical Hospital has participated in local economic groups dedicated to helping local businesses to survive and thrive. Jack Llewelyn and the Chamber were a great help to us, connecting us with local restaurants that helped feed our healthcare workers when they were serving the community. When the COVID vaccine first became available in southwest Colorado, Jack gave me a laundry list of local people and businesses to help us convert a van we purchased into a mobile vaccine clinic. The connections the Chamber facilitates between local businesses help all of us aid and support each other.”

former CEO, Animas Surgical Hospital

This creates a warm and welcoming environment, making it easier to build relationships with customers, employees and fellow business owners. Being involved with the Chamber of Commerce allows us to stay current on local events, create new networking opportunities and take advantage of education opportunities offered regularly."

"The Durango Chamber of Commerce has really beaten all of my expectations. I have been involved with several chambers as I have moved through the years of being a Chiropractor. I like being part of the community and appreciate the programs available. When I moved to Durango I felt that sense of community as soon as I got here, but the chamber really takes that and builds upon it even more. They have events to really feel connected to other businesses in the area with Lunch and Learn events and Coffee Connections. For the younger business members they have YPOD business tours which our office was the destination, so it was great to meet all the up and coming business leaders. The monthly after hours events are also a great way to meet other business owners in a relaxed environment. They host it at different businesses around town every month so you can check out different places while you mingle. I've personally gotten the most out of the Leads Group where we spend an hour each month getting to know a specific business each month so I know what kind of people they are looking for in their business. It's just been a great way to be a part of the community and they have so much to offer."
