The Malden Chamber of Commerce is pleased to provide the 2011-2012 Directory to the Malden community. We suggest you keep this book next to your phone, or, better yet, in your car. This book is a testament to the scope and diversity of our civic community. Our membership includes not only businesses, but non-profit organizations and government agencies.

This Directory is designed to be easy to use. All our member organizations are listed in the Directory starting on page 38. In addition, many businesses and organizations have chosen to highlight their services in half page profiles with more information. The Malden Chamber’s profile is on page 30.

All of us living and working in Malden benefit from the strength and richness of our civic community. Almost every event, kids program, or non-profit in Malden receives the lion’s share of its support from the local businesses you pass by every day. You can do your part by patronizing these businesses.

Consider this: 45 cents of every dollar you spend locally returns to our community in the form of jobs, taxes, or donations to charity. Compare this to less than 14 cents of every dollar spent at a national chain. That’s a 3 to 1 benefit. Do us all a favor, shop and dine locally.

The Malden Chamber of Commerce has been serving this community for 110 years. We are here to promote and support the commercial and civic interests within the City of Malden and affiliated communities. We believe that a strong business community means a strong, healthy community. Please contact us at 781-322-4500 if you would like more information about your Chamber of Commerce, or visit us online at www.maldenchamber.org.
