United Regional Chamber in Boston Globe today

The United Regional Chamber of Commerce — so called because it united the older town chambers in Attleboro, North Attleborough, and Franklin when it was formed in 2008 — has seen a small drop. The three chambers had a combined enrollment of 1070, and membership in the United Chamber today hovers around 1,000.
“We’ve absorbed three offices, and had to find ways to coordinate everything,’’ said Jack Lank, president of the United Chamber. “But we’re very proud to have kept all of our office staff."

Note: I did make the correction to reflect the proper name of United Regional Chamber of Commerce in the first line of the quote and add the website link. The Globe doesn't include links but someday they should.
