September's Member Voice: Scooter Maloney
For September’s Member Voices, we’re highlighting the lasting value of building meaningful connections through Chamber membership.
This month, Scooter Maloney of United Community Bank shares how being part of the Chamber has helped him build relationships with peers in his industry and create a network he can turn to when challenges arise. For Scooter, those connections go beyond exchanging business cards—they’re trusted relationships with people who understand his industry and are willing to share ideas, solutions and support.
His perspective is a great reminder that Chamber membership is about more than showing up to events. It’s about finding your people, building a network you can rely on, and creating relationships that can make a difference for your business and the clients you serve.
This month’s feature highlights the power of connection and the value of having a community of professionals in your corner.
Member Voices is just getting started! Stay tuned for more stories from our Chamber members throughout the year, highlighting the people, businesses, and connections that are helping shape Sarasota’s future.
