We don’t like to talk about death, loss, someone possibly dying. And if you are already triggered, perhaps don’t read this alone.
Perhaps it is the older I get, or the current world we still are living, but top of mind for me is talking about protecting our loved ones, in case we die. OR, maybe we are disabled. OR, maybe you actually want to retire! Go figure!
So, my soap box speech is simple.
WATCH Ben King and I talk about Succession Planning for all of the three scenarios- disability, death, or retirement. You are not alone if you haven’t started, most people haven’t.
Pros to starting now:
- It’s less expensive on the planning end, than leaving it for your friends and family to deal with it on the reactive end.
- You’ll be set up to be successful and happy in retirement. If it is time to retire, it is too late to make a plan.
- Peace of mind. For you and those you will leave the business to.
- Sharing your ideas and thoughts now, saves everyone the time and guessing game of what you want later.
- You CAN protect the blood, sweat, and tears you have put into your business.
Start now. Do not wait.
Do it for the love and passion of your business.
Do it for the love and compassion of your family.

2022 Annual Chamber Event and Awards |

The 2022 Annual Chamber Event and Community Awards was truly a killer celebration. The night was full of Hollywood glamour, murderous motives, and suspiciously fun entertainment.

"Best Laid Plans: Murder at a Hollywood Mansion." You all make Hutchinson the exceptional city that it is. We are honored to belong to such a beautiful and amiable community. Because of you, there
truly is #MuchInHutch.

Grant applications are due by June 1, 2022
Since 2013, the Chamber has enjoyed granting money to events held in Hutchinson hosted by nonprofits and for-profits. These grants help cover the expense of marketing that covers a radius outside the Hutchinson area for the event. These events help the Chamber bring more people to our beautiful and welcoming community – there really is #MuchInHutch!
Tell your friends, co-workers, committees, and organizations about the Chamber’s Tourism Marketing Grant. We love to help events as they help us and increase the traffic and awesomeness of Hutchinson!
