« Lorsque je regarde autour de moi aux activités de réseautage organisées par la Chambre de commerce d’Ottawa, je vois des intervenants de tous les âges, une diversité culturelle et une richesse d’expérience. Les ambassadeurs, le personnel de la Chambre et les membres du comité font en outre un excellent travail au niveau des présentations et des références. L’engagement de la Chambre à l’égard de la prospérité et de la réussite de notre communauté d’affaires continue de m’impressionner. L’adhésion m’a ouvert des portes. C’est un investissement qui vaut vraiment le coup. »
