The difference they make

This past week at the Azle chamber’s Business After Hours event, I heard something that stuck with me.

Two people new to the chamber shared that before attending, others had told them, “You need to check out the Azle chamber. It is thriving, and the members are welcoming.”

As Jennifer Parnell, the chamber’s executive director, and I listened, we could not help but smile. It is always encouraging to hear how a place is described by those experiencing it for the first time.
