Dear Chamber Members:

Did I Say Networking?

Yes, of course I did. The Chamber is responding to what you said you wanted: not only more networking opportunities, but help with how you can maximize your networking skills.

- April 16^th, make it to the breakfast at 7:30AM and be part of our new Speed Networking Program. The session starts out with helpful tips from Wayne Stofsky on how to maximize the impact of your promotional message.

- April 23^rd, bring your business cards to the Ribbon Cutting/Business After Hours event at International Title Solutions. Come welcome one of our newest members and make connections with fellow members as well.

- April 29^th, “Connect for Success” seminar, hosted by the Women in Business Committee, will include creating your 30 second networking commercial and maximizing your communication skills. Guys, of course, are welcome to attend, too, from 6 – 8PM at the Chamber office.

- The Wednesday and Thursday Networking Groups have openings in several professional categories. These one-of-a-kind networking groups are highly effective networking vehicles. Give Alice a call to see if your category is available and join a group or add your name to the waiting list…it’s worth it.

Let us know if you have ideas for other networking events. Just email me at kblanton@ameribiz.net.

On another note, it’s that time of year for nominations for the Small Business Person of the Year. Applications will be available at this month’s breakfast or from the Chamber office. If you can’t stop by, just call so we can fax one to you. Application deadline is April 25^th.

Hope to network with you soon!

Kathy Blanton
