Letter From The President

As a long-time resident and one who has raised my family here in Beverly, I see the importance of the Greater Beverly Chamber and I am proud to serve the Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce as President, in its 40th year.

Over four decades, we’ve grown in numbers, in location, ideas and events, but one thing has always been constant; our members are passionate about their community and the GBCC. Our measure of success is seen through their success.

The 2025 GBCC Board of Directors is a working Board. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to create a vibrant, relevant, and respected organization our business community wants to engage with.

The GBCC Board of Directors come from many industries and truly reflects the fabric of our business community.

In 2025 the Board plans to create a strategic plan pertaining to workforce and economic development initiatives. Our goal is to strength our collaboration with City Hall and to have our business community be a go-to resource and positive partner. In addition, we plan to host smaller restaurant events throughout the year.

On the horizon, the GBCC will continue to foster and grow our membership, continue with our Non-Profit Roundtable, Power of Women and Health & Wellness events series. The GBCC will also continue our popular monthly Brewing Business coffees, lunch and learn series, Business After Hours and promote our SHOP LOCAL initiative, the Greater Beverly gift Certificates redeemable at over 50 member businesses. Lastly, we’re excited for the return of our Biennial Business Showcase Expo, our June 16th Golf Tournament at Ferncroft and our Casino and Auction fundraiser in the Fall.

Our members are creative and engaged, and I am excited to participate in organizing new initiatives and programs that help our members, while driving leadership at the municipal level.

Respectfully,

Tim Flaherty
2025 President
Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce
