I have had the opportunity to work with Matt Keswick of Keswick Consulting for over 5 years at the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce. In that time, Mr. Keswick has helped the Chamber dramatically increase our activity and visibility at the municipal and state levels. We have held several visits to Beacon Hill which is integral in conveying the needs of business owners in the region. Through these avenues, the Chamber has continued to expand, better serve and better inform its members about issues that affect business owners and economic development in their community. Mr. Keswick has been integral in helping us achieve our goals. - Melissa Fetterhoff, President & CEO, Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce
