Celebrate 12 Days of Members With The Thriving Industries of Montgomery County!

December 8, 2024

The Montgomery County Action Council (MCAC) loves talking about its members! We promote various businesses throughout the year and are excited to celebrate their good work. From companies with decades-long histories in the region to new businesses scheduling ribbon cuttings, there is always something to talk about.  

December is a particularly special time for MCAC. It provides an opportunity to celebrate several types of members and industries throughout Montgomery County. If you are new to the area, our 12 Days of Members celebration can help you find businesses that are ready to support you. If you are a long-term resident, you might find new companies you never knew about in your area.

“Our community is strong because we invest in each other,” says Melissa Johnson, Executive Director of MCAC. “The business community works together to provide quality products and services for customers, who in turn choose to shop local. This creates growth in Montgomery County.”  

Check out some of the leading industries in Montgomery County through our 12 Days of Members celebration. Discover the wealth of companies that choose Montgomery County.
