 A message from
Kathy Evert,
Interim Executive Director:
Save the Date - Chamber Membership Luncheon Sept. 15th. We are bringing together as many Chamber members as can join us for lunch at 12:00 noon in the lower level of the Civic Center on Tuesday, Sept. 15th. The topic for this membership luncheon is Chambers of Commerce of the Future. I will share some trends and examples with you and ask for your feedback (yes there will be audience participation!). What do you want from your chamber of commerce; what do you want your chamber of commerce to accomplish in the region. I encourage you to think about what you want the Seward area to look like in 10, 20 years and beyond.
The Board of Directors, staff and I look forward to seeing you on the 15th and having a productive conversation about the future and I look forward to meeting you.
Our Facebook page has over 1000 fans and is another tool for our area and your business to reach customers and potential customers. We will utilize Facebook to share more, learn more, and engage more in the many months ahead. If you have celebrations, photos, special promotions, etc., be sure to include us and we'll help spread the word. Our Facebook page is www.facebook.com/SewardNE and you can always call or email items to us at sewcham@sewardne.com.
Have a great week and Labor Day weekend.
Kathy Evert
