The Greater Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce ended 2016 with more than 180 total members, and they look to grow even further this year. Businesses don't need to be in Shelbyville, but as long as they're in the greater Shelbyville area or the Shelby county area, the Chamber of Commerce will accept them.

Vonda McConnell, from the Shelbyville Chamber said they'll take just about anyone, and memberships are where they can help businesses the most, as they can use email blasts, and Facebook to help the chamber businesses.

McConnell said what she loves most about her job is using her resources to help the families and businesses in the greater Shelbyville area.

McConnell was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show from our downtown Shelbyville Studios.
