"The Frederick County Chamber has given me so many wonderful opportunities! Throughout the 20+ years I have been a member I’ve used my membership to meet businesses to connect and grow my company as well as to participate in the many programs they have available like Leadership Frederick County (LFC). I enjoy volunteering as a Chamber Ambassador and helping newer members learn about resources that will help their company flourish. For me, it has been an honor and privilege to be a part of the Frederick County Chamber community." - Ellen Keyser, Owner, EKDesigns.com
