Lunch and Learn Presenters Needed
We are working to bring you a monthly calendar of lunch and learns from noon-1 p.m. I am looking for businesses/people interested in presenting a lunch and learn topic that has broad interest to chamber and local businesses. We will do multiple lunch and learns/month depending on presenter interest/availability and other chamber events schedules.
There is no fee for presenting & use of Pearson room. Presenters get to interact with 20-30 local businesses, spend 30-40 minutes or so on their topic and get 5-10 minutes to present their value proposition as a business. Sponsors may provide a light lunch if they desire (could increase attendance) or it becomes BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch).
Interested in sponsoring/presenting a lunch and learn?

We have joined with all Washington County Chambers as part of our WCCCP partnership to bring you a 1st Congressional District Forum/Debate between Rob Cornilles and Suzanne Bonamici on January 10th, at 7:30 a.m. Attendance at this event will be limited to chamber member businesses from Washington County chambers. An invite will be coming over the next week or two with more details.
Chamber Day at the Oregon State Capitol is planned for Feb 16th, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. at the Salem Conference Center. Interested Chamber members are welcome to attend with GAPP committee members. More details to following including cost, agenda and speakers. Stay tuned.
Your GAPP committee met last month with Representative Margaret Doherty to hear an update from her on the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange. This independent exchange is expected to help combat the rising cost of health insurance by enabling individuals and small businesses to have access to health coverage at more competitive rates through pooling of applicant policies. The business plan is currently in development and we expect more details to come out of the Feb 2012 Legislative session regarding this major initiative. Stay tuned for more info.

On Monday, Dec. 19, and Wednesday, Dec. 21, from 2-4 p.m., the Winter Critter films and crafts programs will feature animal-themed winter movies (rated PG) and refreshments. Those who are scrambling for that last-minute holiday trim can also decorate a gift bag or create a one-of-a-kind gift tag.
The Candy Cane Mini Teen Game Fest on Thursday, Dec. 22, from 3-5 p.m. is a great way for teens to enjoy a relaxing afternoon of Wii™, Xbox and board games while munching holiday snacks.
