Greetings and Salutations!
 
Good day everyone!
I hope things are going well for all of you. Now that our summer is over, the young ones are all back in school, we are back to our regular routines. The Aboriginal Chamber's routine is recruiting new members and continuing to plan and prepare for upcoming events.
 
The Aboriginal Financial Officers Association and the Brandon Aboriginal Peoples Council along with the ACC are hosting a networking evening mixer in Brandon on September 29th at the Royal Oak Inn from 6:30-9:00 pm. Everyone is welcome. This event will provide us with the opportunity to grow our networks, chat over appetizers and enter our business card draws for great prizes! Mark your calendars and spread the word! For more information and registration, CLICK HERE.
 
An invite went to our membership to join the ACC subcommittees. I want to personally say thank you to all those individuals who have joined our sub-committees and agreed to share their expertise in various areas. If there are any other ACC members wishing to join a committee please call me at the office.
 
The ACC is also continuing to complete the steps required to become the Canadian Indigenous Chamber of Commerce. Our Policy Committee is working diligently on updating our Bylaws and Policy to reflect the national status.
 
Our Indigenous Business Awards Committee has been meeting on a regular basis to set up criteria for the awards as well as encourage nominations in four categories. Please visit http://www.aboriginalchamber.ca/indigenous-business-awards/ for nomination information. Please nominate a deserving ACC member!
 
Please take the time to drop by the office anytime between 9-5, Monday to Thursday for a visit! I look forward to seeing you at our various events!
 
Take care,
Gloria Spence 
General Manager
