Member testimonials

“We joined CCP to help grow our business and to increase our exposure so that more people would learn about our salon. Membership in CCP has given us the opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with other Champaign Center members through social events and participation on committees. Some of these contacts have become our customers. We appreciate that CCP brings business members together in unity.”

"The Partnership has enabled me to meet a lot of new local business-people with whom I can collaborate and also support. I am constantly impressed by the knowledge and the variety of ideas that our members regularly bring to the table."

"Our downtown retail business has benefited significantly from the Champaign Center Partnership not only from the organization's direct promotions, cost-effective advertising opportunities, and other activities, but also by its commitment to encouraging the community of business owners to communicate and collaborate more effectively. "

"Membership with CCP has played a critical role in the growth and development of The Land Connection. Our staff have learned a number of new things through the many free workshops CCP hosts. Also, the relationships we have built through networking opportunities like social hours and morning meet-ups are important as we work to increase the visibility and reach of our organization. It seems like there is always something new and exciting that CCP offers to members, so we really can't think of a single thing we haven't enjoyed about our membership!"
