SUGGESTION BOX

Hi, this is Steve...I would like your input. We have a class scheduled this month about how you can sell to the Government (flier below), and I am considering a seminar on how to make Social Media work in your business. These things take time and resources, and it's a benefit we do for you. If it's not interesting to you, then I want to know what is. The Chamber is here to serve its membership. However, if these events are scheduled and no one comes, what value is it to you? Same with our events, coffees and after hours meetings. Why are you not involved in those? Maybe the better question is what do we do to get you involved in your Chamber? Your answers are what I'm seeking. Send them to me directly here:
