VHEDC has been an immeasurable resource for JP Staffing since joining nearly one year ago. Between the special speakers providing professional education, to the networking events designed to build business relationships and connections, VHEDC is by far superior to any of the other chambers and networking groups I have been part of. For a minimal money investment and reasonable time investment, JP Staffing’s revenues have seen a high ROI.
