Our Corporate Sponsors
The MetroWest Corporate Sponorship Program was established in 2010. These corporate partnerships were established to increase the visibility of both the Chamber and the sponsors and to foster a stronger business climate in the communities we serve.
Businesses can choose from several levels of sponsorship: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Community Builder. The Platinum, Gold and Silver levels are customized to fit the needs of businesses with a large employee base while the Community Builder sponsorship provides a mechanism for smaller businesses to receive the additional benefits of a corporate sponsorship.

Since Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by then Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Dr. Amar G. Bose, the original philosophies and founding principles have not changed. Bose maintains an exceptionally strong commitment to research, for it is within the discipline of research that yesterday’s fiction becomes tomorrow’s reality. They strive to identify things which, when made better, improve people’s lives. But it’s more than just research. They aim for excellence in everything they do. From the way they run their business to their customer service. From the products to the owner’s manuals you’ll use to set them up. In everything they do, they truly believe that “good enough” is merely a starting point. They have taken their commitment and their passion for innovation and applied them to developing unique sound solutions to meet virtually any audio challenge in any application, even the space program. While many of their products are designed for entertainment and home audio solutions, you’ll find Bose sound is prevalent in both the aviation and automotive industries, too. They have also designed professional sound systems for many applications, including stadiums and auditoriums, houses of worship, retail businesses, department stores and restaurants. Their commitment has served them well. Today, Bose has operations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia and South America. Bose |
