The Columbia Chamber is proud to name Connecting Elements as the June Partner of the Month. Connecting Elements is so much more than a commercial interiors provider. They are a solutions provider as the Chamber discovered first hand with our recent office relocation. We are the grateful beneficiary of "gently used" workstations from our long-time Partner, Colonial Life. And Connecting Elements went above and beyond in helping the Chamber with getting the pieces and parts and making them all work together beautifully.

The logo for Connecting Elements is very appropriate. The inspiration for the puzzle piece logo comes from the owner Matt Brosius' dad who was an avid jigsaw puzzle fan. It's a great story and you can learn more about the history of Connecting Elements, click here.

The mission at Connecting Elements is "People First." The people made such a difference and gave amazing service to us during our office transition. Connecting Elements supports local businesses as much as possible, from using local restaurants for catering to local web development businesses, local event planners, local event venues, and local promotions providers.

Connecting Elements gives back to the community by donating their time and resources to fellow local businesses as well as their own employees when they need help. They have a program for donating gently used commercial furniture to local 501(c)3 nonprofits and have been able to help out nonprofits such as Leeza's Connection, MIRCI Young Men's Home, the Cure Sanflippo Foundation, Columbia Police K-9 Unit, United Way, and a host of other local organizations needing an extra hand. They are active donors to the local Harvest Hope Food Bank as well.

The Chamber gives a shout out to Connecting Elements for their most recent, and timely, donation. They secured new custom sofas for the Bellevue Hospital pediatric department's workroom in NY as a donation for their front-line workers. Well done!
