A big thank you to University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce for hosting an inspiring annual community breakfast yesterday! We were genuinely moved by the perspectives shared by the students, the Chamber, and Chancellor Reyes about the power of partnerships in driving success. The event was a testament to the incredible things we can achieve when we come together and collaborate. Here’s to another great year of building connections, fostering innovation, and creating meaningful impact in our community! #CommunitySuccess #Partnerships #UMassAmherst #Networking #Collaboration #Inspiration

We got our jam on as we listened to the UMass Marching Band perform at the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce Community Breakfast which was held in the lovely UMass Student Union Ballroom.

Our Berthiaume members had a fantastic time at the UMass Amherst Community Breakfast today. It’s always a joy to connect with local business owners and community members. We were especially inspired by Chancellor Javier Reyes’ remarks on how we can work together to create a stronger Amherst area for students and residents alike. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible!
