Committee members on hand were Nicole Lerario of a Kneaded Vacation, Ken Scaggs of The Kerr Agency, and Bernice Lopez of Affinity Federal Credit Union. It was a very informative event with excellent business and networking tips. A hot buffet breakfast was provided by the Keyport IHOP and Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.

Join a Chamber Committee

Each month we'll be spotlighting a different Chamber committee. Please contact the Chamber office if you wish to participate - we're happy to have you.

~Join the Women in Business Committee~
 

The Women in Business Committee is a group of dynamic business women with amazing ideas and work ethic.

We work so well together as a group, and no idea is considered out of the box! We work hard to come up with interesting speakers and programs, like our upcoming murder mystery themed "Who killed Customer Service?"

Our goal is to promote our sponsors and host restaurants to our guests, while giving value for the ticket price.

Upload your video to YouTube, embed it into your existing website and reap the benefits, such as - 50 times more likely to increase Google rankings, 30-40% increase in clicks for more information, and 16-20% increase in phone calls
