A Note From The Executive Director

The WRC focuses on the dedication to being an advocate and resource for business. We do this by delivering value to our members and the communities they serve, work to maintain and improve the area's quality of life, work to maintain strong support for existing industries, and continue to promote and support economic development.

We work hard to make Western Mass a place where businesses want to start, stay, and prosper. I encourage members to take advantage of all of the opportunities the WRC has to offer, and I look forward to meeting you to discuss all of the benefits of a WRC membership has if you are not a member!
