Chamber News 

Competition Heats Up In Membership Campaign

  After the first week of the Partnership's 11-day 2011 Membership Campaign, more than 51 new members have been recruited by about 12 of the 75 team members, and reports are running rampant that many of the remaining team members have some new members "in their pockets." The campaign goal is $50,000, and, according to Campaign Chairman Chris Marsh, the competition is exceeding all expectations with some really nice prizes for the top team and the top individual salespeople. If you know of a prospective member that should be contacted during this campaign, please call the Partnership (638-4111 or email vandrew@greenecop.com) and the staff will pass the information along to the teams.

Economic Development Update

New Economic Development Website Is Almost Ready!

  We are in the last round of revisions and will be ready to launch the site sometime next month. The new Tourism site is currently in the design/revision phase and will move into the development phase within the next few weeks. At that time, design will begin on the new Chamber site. This new "family" of websites, designed by Rick Whittington Consulting, will not only update and better organize the information, but will add a fresh new look to the Partnership's marketing efforts.
