North Shore Honor ScholarsDANVERS -- For 55 years, the North Shore Chamber has celebrated the accomplishments of the top seniors in the region by hosting an elaborate dinner program, sponsored by generous member businesses.
These 350 students are the North Shore's best and brightest, achieving outstanding grades to rank in the top 5 percent of their high school's graduating class. Some 650 people filled the Doubletree Hilton on May 10 for this great event, featuring a keynote address by Tim Collins, founder and CEO of EBSCO Information Services, the program's premier sponsor. Collins, a longtime Chamber member, also gave each of the students a copy of his book "6 For You," which compiles his six principles for finding success in life. The Chamber could not host this event without the generous support of our members in the business community. |

State's Largest Chambers Create New Advocacy Network
March 15, 2023
Network Convenes to Strategize Necessary Policy Solutions for People & Businesses
The North Shore Chamber of Commerce announces the launch of the statewide policy network, the Massachusetts Chambers of Commerce Policy Network (the “Chambers Policy Network”). The Chambers Policy Network, led by the Presidents and Chief Executive Officers of large regional chambers of commerce, plans to use its collective statewide voice to advocate for policy and business issues that will strengthen the quality of life and economy in the Commonwealth. The Chambers Policy Network is designed to leverage the existing impact and on-the-ground local knowledge of local Chambers to provide solutions to policy challenges that hinder the success and legacy of residents, employees and businesses. Our goal is a growing statewide economy that works for all and strengthens our ability to retain talent and businesses in Massachusetts.
