Special Call to Action!
One of the things we often hear from the community is the phrase, "I wish the Chamber would do ___or help with ___or I wish they would bring back ___". And you should see our own staff wish list - we are dreamers too!
I am going to be real honest with you as I believe honest communication, transparency and a willingness to listen and learn are important for growth!
There are so many things the Chamber would love to do to grow Coffeyville (again, you should see our staff wish list, we get excited). Here are just two of the challenges that sometimes impact that growth:
- 1. Where did all the people go? Volunteers/committees/leaders have dwindled over the years. Twenty years ago, the Chamber had an average of 50-100 business members serving on committees, volunteering for events, leading the charge on initiatives. Times are different, our businesses are different, our community is different so we have to find a way to be creative and build a new future. We can do it together!
- 2. Communication is a two way street. We are thirsty for information about you, your successes, challenges! What new training do you need? Want to be a part of our shop local programs? Do you have a new product, a new manager or other news?
- Schedule that personal visit, complete that survey, submit the event to the calendar, email us that announcement.
- An investment in the Chamber is an investment in the community. And our Chamber is only as strong as our members. Connect with us and you can play big part in our new strategic goals and direction for 2022!
Sincerely,
Candi
