IN YOUR CORNER
This week..
Happy Monday!
As we reach out to potential Chamber members and engage current members to renew, we are even more committed to the many benefits we can provide. In planning our events, programs and advocacy for the New year, they should be centered around these very benefits that serve the unique needs of our Amherst Area business community. Please be sure to take the opportunity to take our 10 minute
Chamber Survey
so we can better serve YOU.
You may recall we offered a free book series and workgroup beginning in September and ending in December, based on the book,
'9 Lies Holding Your Business Back'
. Those members participating in our book series have found great business building support through this weekly team approach. Last week, they
brainstormed ways to add value to each of their services/products for their respective clients. Eager to share news of their learnings at the end of the nine-week series. Stay tuned and let's keep working toward programs we can build to bring YOU greater benefit.
