SSWR Chamber of Commerce Celebrates Small Business Week October 16-22
Small Business Week is a nation-wide celebration of entrepreneurship. Small business and medium sized business owners are an important part of the communities in which they live and work.
Be active in your Chamber, and be noticed in your community; it's just good business. It provides an edge over your competition, and presents an element of trust, involvement and that of a Community leader. Research suggests that consumers are at least 40% more likely to buy from businesses displaying an active role in their Chamber of Commerce.

On Wednesday, October 5th the Chamber held its popular Member Appreciation & New Member Recognition Night. Members enjoyed appetizers and a complimentary beverage while they mixed & mingled at the Rotary Field House with new and fellow Chamber members.
The event gave New Members the opportunity to introduce themselves and speak about their products and services. Everyone appreciated the opportunity to learn something new and to make new business relationships and to also develop new friendships. Since creating success in business is really about maintaining relationships, it was a win-win for all! View Welcome New Members January - September 2016
