The Chamber Golf Outing Sponsorship Opportunities




Spring is officially here. Soon the golf courses will be open, and our plans are already underway for the 2017 Chamber Golf Outing. This year we will be playing the marvelous and demanding courses at Fox Hills Resort on Wednesday, July 19.

The Chamber Golf Outing has been known to fill the course, giving golfers a chance at some friendly competition while networking with over 144 colleagues and potential clients. This is a great way to spend a summer afternoon, catching up with both old and new business partners.



As a Chamber member, you are invited to take advantage of our exciting sponsorship opportunities. Click here to see what's available.

Golfing registration will begin at the end of May. The cost is $130 per golfer or $500 for a foursome, which includes lunch, golf, cart and dinner.

Take the LEAP Survey!
Investors Community Bank and Leede Research are again sponsoring the Lakeshore Economic Assessment Program (LEAP) in partnership with The Chamber of Manitowoc County and Progress Lakeshore. Our goal is to update the 2015 Study and to better understand how recent plant closings and a changing economy have impacted area businesses.
 
We need your help to understand the local economy and track against the 2015 LEAP program. We ask that you take just 5 minutes to click on the link below and complete the survey process. Your information will help to assess the current environment and help community organizations to continue to support area businesses and their development.
 
We thank you in advance for your participation.  Results will be presented at Progress Lakeshore's 6th Annual Excellence in Economic Development Awards Breakfast on May 3.
