FUN After (but this time before) FIVE: At this point, since we can't meet at businesses as easily as before, we will be having Fun After Five Before Five this Thursday! We thought we would give 4 pm - 5 pm a try in September to see if that worked better for folks closing out their day at work. RSVP here and get your login credentials in your confirmation email.

 

PROFESSIONAL Business DEVELOPMENT: Are you ready for "The Pivot"? Hear from a panel of small business owners, businesses coaches, bankers, educators, staffing services and more when you dial into our next PBD Online on September 23. You've asked for more resources to hear what other businesses are doing and what you can do to stay afloat - and this is but a mere part of that effort! RSVP here!

Get REVd Up: Are you registered to vote? The deadline to vote in the November 3 election is October 5, but don't wait. Find out more about the candidates, view sample ballots, learn how to vote by mail and "Get REVd Up" (Register, Educate, Vote) at the Montgomery County Elections page! And swing by the Chamber on September 24, from 11 am - 2 pm to register right here!

NONPROFIT Roundtable: After some time off, the Nonprofit Roundtable will be meeting this Thursday at 12 pm on Zoom. The Executive Director of CASA, Ann McAlpin, will be speaking on Creating Great Staff and Board Relationships. Make a note and join the Zoom call here; directors, board members, staff and even donors are invited to attend.

CANDIDATE FORUM Goes Virtual: Due to elections being moved until November, the Conroe Chamber will be staging a second VIRTUAL City Candidate Forum on October 12. As we confirm the candidates, we will be sending out more information, but you can click here to see the latest and RSVP.

LOBSTERFEST TO GO 2020: Our famous lobster and steak dinner will be TO GO this year but we promise to roll out a ton of things that will make the 34th year just as memorable as the previous 33! Work on your short game for the tournament at Panorama Golf Club - that part of the festivities will not change! Get the details here for October 1 and 2 as they become available. AND OF COURSE: Check out social media for fun CONTESTS leading up to the big day!
