From the Membership Desk
How can a 1 minute investment of time connect you more fully with the mission of your local Chamber of Commerce? Don't take it from me! Nationally and globally recognized business professionals including the likes of Stephen Covey are devoting their time to providing testimony on the real value of the work that Chamber of Commerce and its Members accomplish in their respective communities. I urge you to follow this link (http://www.youtube.com/ACCEweb) and take a few brief moments to understand more fully how critical YOU are - and how critical the resources your organization allocates to Chamber of Commerce membership and sponsorship truly are - to the increasing the quality of life, business climate, and economy in Ocala and Marion County. With a Membership inquiry or to refer a colleague, please contact Jillienne Allgauer, VP of Membership development at Jillienne@ocalacc.com or at 352-629-8051.
