Letter from the President
Our success is yours
Dear members,
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 41st 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 2026 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 2026 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.
Beverly, the “WOW” between Witches and Whales, we are proud to roll out Beverly’s first-ever Visitor Guide & Map to be distributed around Massachusetts highway visitor centers to help promote our local business community and all that there is to see and do in our awesome community.
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 Business Showcase Expo, our Home & Garden Expo, our June 22nd Golf Tournament at Ferncroft and our 1st annual Holiday PoPs Concert with the renown Dirk Hillyer Festival Orchestra on Saturday, November 28th.
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 + 2026 President
Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce
More connection. More visibility. More momentum.
That’s what happens when you plug into a Chamber that’s built for bold, local businesses like yours. Learn what membership could do for you!
