Benefits of Being a Member
Sub-Committees meet once every month or every other month to conduct specific business relating to the committee and then share committee updates at the monthly scheduled Chamber meetings. Chamber sub-committees quite often collaborate with other city/community boards, committees, churches and the local school district in an effort to work together on local events and community visions.
ADVERTISING/PROMOTION/COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE:
This committee is designed to focus on local business promotion, advertising and marketing. These functions include but are not limited to Business Spotlights, Ribbon Cuttings, and Welcome Packets. Other monthly interaction with area businesses is steered through the Local Newspapers, the City’s Webpage, the Chamber Facebook page, E-mail communications, Chamber Newsletter, and Chamber Brochures.
EDUCATION/CHAMBER EVENT COMMITTEE:
The Education/Chamber Event Committees role is to strengthen area businesses by offering educational sessions with key note speakers covering specific topics that are relatable and a benefit to local businesses, small town investments, business exposure, website presence, etc. The Chamber offers “Lunch and Learn” education sessions typically held twice a year and also coordinates bi-annual “Meet and Greets” that are hosted by area businesses (with the sponsorship of the Chamber). This is a good networking opportunity for area businesses. The events side of the committee organizes Chamber events such as Fall Family Fun Day, Monster Mash, Chamber Dinner & Show, etc. They also help support other area events hosted by businesses, civic organizations, and churches. If your business is need of specific training, please let us know and we will try to accommodate.
