 More Than Just a Lunch...The July 2010 edition of Inside Business magazine highlighted an important article entitled, "More Than Just a Lunch" that focused on the value of businesses belonging to their local chamber of commerce. The article begins, "If you think joining your local chamber is just about monthly luncheons, think again. True, chambers are known for networking and their ability to bring businesses of all sizes together, but there's much more to the story." For the full artcle, click More Than Just a Lunch.
I think you'll find much of the information in the article very valuable and insightful! Happy Reading!  Problem Solve,
Get Involved,
We'll Co-evolve! |
