Trinity Structural Towers Tour
Last week members of our Chamber Board and Ambassadors had a chance to tour Trinity Structural Towers in Newton. A very impressive operation as we had the opportunity to see the entire procress of a slab of steel being bent, shaped, welded, and painted to form an 80 to 100 Meter Tower for wind energy. Click on the picture below for more. Human Resources Networking Lunch
A dozen Newton Employers met to network over HR Issues. Along with some great general HR discussion we also focused on occupational health issues and drug testing. Special guests included reps from from The Newton Clinic and Pella Occupational Health, both Chamber Members and great resources to Newton business leaders. This group will meet at least 6 times a year to address HR issues including hiring, interviewing, employee manuals, health care, employee incentive programs, and more. If you have employees, you'll want to connect with this group!
 Our NEW Jobs Page is now live on our website. Chamber Members can now post jobs at no charge. A few have taken advantage of this already. |

| LINKS to Business Blogs & Resources
This list changes now and then but these are great resources for anyone running a business or organization, small or large, for profit or not-for-priofit.
Co-author of "The Go-Giver", one of our recommended books. It's all about doing business with those you know, like and trust. If you are in sales or want to understand the power of networking, this is a great blog.
If you want to be remarkable, Seth will help you get started. We recommended his book "The Big Moo" but he has much more to say. Great for marketing ideas too.
Facebook? Twitter? You'll find resources, links and articles for all of the all the latest tips and trends in social media.
Why do many small businesses fail? Michael Gerber wrote a book called the E-Myth (The Entrepreneaur Myth - Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs.) to examine that fact, and he's been coaching hundreds ever since.
