Ambassadors--Volunteers Who Make a Difference!

Last week, our Chamber Ambassadors met to begin planning our annual Golf Tournament (which is October 13th!).  These volunteers understand the importance of our Chamber of Commerce and are willing to donate their time and talents for the betterment of our entire community.   The group meets on the second Thursday of every month here at the Chamber (free lunch is included).   Do you know a Chamber member who would consider serving as an Ambassador?  
Please let us know as we are taking nominations now and want to expand this important group!  We are looking for representatives from  all areas  of the county and  all types of businesses.  Thank you!   -Brooke Clinton

Social Media--It's Important!

The mission statement of the Chester County Chamber of Commerce states that our organization shall " Promote family-oriented commerce, events and activities to be enjoyed by local residents and out-of-town visitors."  One of the best ways to reach consumers is through social media.  Please "Like" our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.  Also, feel free to send us updates for our social media sites that you believe would benefit our residents and visitors--we'll be glad to post & share.
