Dear PBC Members:
Our June newsletter features an important opportunity to assist our Board of Directors in keeping current with member needs and interests. I ask you to please take a moment to complete the PBC Member Survey found
here. Your feedback is imperative to us as we strive to develop valuable/meaningful programs and networking activities, as well as represent your business interests in our growing community.
The survey can be completed in approximately five minutes and all responses are anonymous.
On behalf of the PBC Board of Directors, thank you for your Chamber membership and participation! We hope to see you soon at an upcoming PBC event, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
Sincerely,
Jen Novy, PBC President

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network with more than 313 million members worldwide. LinkedIn is a way to build credibility and demonstrate your expertise. If you have an incomplete LinkedIn profile, that shows a lack of credibility and professionalism. With first impressions going a long way, it's important to get yours right the first time.
During Michelle's presentation, attendees will learn:
- Why LinkedIn matters
- What's in it for them
- The "TOP SECRET" four things your profile must have
- With whom they should connect
- Why they should be publishing posts
- Why they should join LinkedIn Groups
Michelle Arbore is an international speaker where she presents on different aspects of social media. She has spoken at local networking events, women's organizations and conferences, numerous chambers of commerce, and has been interviewed for webinars, telesummits, seminars, and podcasts. She has also created and hosted different workshops and online challenges designed to help businesses grow.
