Diana Szynal
Chambers of commerce have evolved over the years, and they are in many ways smaller than they were decades ago, in terms of both membership and staff. But their mission remains vital, and in many ways, chambers are more important now than ever. That’s one observation from Diana Szynal, president and CEO of the Springfield Regional Chamber, as she talked with Contributing Writer George O’Brien for the latest installment of BusinessTalk. The two sat down to discuss everything from the upcoming schedule of events, starting with the annual Outlook lunch, to the chamber’s rebranding efforts, to the way it provides a strong, clear voice for businesses of all sizes. It’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
