Dear , Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010
Thank
you, in advance, for participating in the Chamber's annual membership survey. Your
feedback is important - and your responses are confidential.
 Your
responses to questions about the Chamber's programs and benefits will
help the Chamber's board of trustees and staff strengthen our services
and be responsive to your needs and those of other members. Your
responses to questions on the local business economy will be helpful to
the Chamber and the city in forecasting.
Overall
results of the survey will be shared at upcoming Chamber events
(including the Groundhog Day Business Forecast Breakfast on Feb. 2) and
in Chamber publications.
The survey should take about 10 or 15 minutes to complete.
Please respond by 9 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 29. Once you've completed it, come back to this issue of Chamber Links to reserve your place for some key Chamber events, including the Groundhog Day Forecast Breakfast, where you will learn some of the results of the member survey.
