November 2022 Newsletter
With Amazon and other online retailers pushing an early start to holiday shopping, smaller businesses need to take advantage of every opportunity to reach customers early and often. The Chamber has a variety of platforms to promote your products and offers, at no added cost to you.
As we look forward to the new year, the Chamber will accept nominations for its Annual Business Awards through December 9. This year we are adding a new Emerging Business category to our traditional Business of the Year, Corporate Citizen, and Chamber Volunteer awards. We will also introduce an award that will rotate categories annually, beginning with a Franchise of the Year presentation.
Now is the perfect time to take advantage of added opportunities by upgrading your Chamber membership for 2023. Enhanced membership levels provide bundles of tools to enhance your visibility, both within the membership and in the wider community.
The Nominating Committee for the Chamber’s Board of Directors has submitted recommendations to fill Board vacancies in 2023, as well as new appointments to the Board’s Executive Committee.
Major development proposals for the former Grainger and Green Acres sites continue to evolve through the Village’s review process. Public hearings are expected to continue in November and December.
