The Economic Development Task Force has been collaborating with the students of West Shore Career Tech, The Lakewood City Schools, Cleveland State University and manufacturers in the region to develop an Engineering Incubator in the City of Lakewood.
In an effort to bring you relevant topics that relate to your business, the Educational Task Force will be hosting educational workshops beginning in 2010. To do this effectively, we need your input.
This October marks the 5th year that the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce and The Beck Center for the Arts have hosted the West End Halloween Window Walk. This event is a great way for the Chamber and The Beck to reach out to the children in the community and to promote businesses in the West End. The event has doubled from 64 painters in 2005 to over 130 painters in 2008. It is also an affordable and fun way to market your business. We have 6 prize divisions with a 1st prize purse of $100! Any business interesting in sponsoring a prize, contact the Chamber office.
You probably have received the new Lakewood Chamber of Commerce Membership static cling in the mail recently. The colorful decal was the first of many new membership retention and growth strategies recommended by the Membership Task Force. The group is also in the process of developing a new Membership tri-fold and website improvements to enhance and grow our membership.
