Executive Director Update

We want to thank you for your membership with the Chambers! We have set a day aside for you to drop in to renew your membership. We hope you can join us at one of the locations on December 10th:  AM or PM.  You should have received a renewal invoice via email and will also receive a copy by mail in the next week.

Learn more about enhancing your membership online and mingle with Board and Committee members.  Register for a Lunch and Learn on the 11th at the Fleur Hy-Vee where we will demo ChamberMaster and answer questions.  Bring your laptop!

In planning new benefits for your membership, we have added a free program beginning in January 2013 called Contacts & Contracts, presented by Top Flite Financial. This is a referral exchange group open to anyone in your company and is limited to one representative per industry. First come, first served -- so contact me if you are interested in joining the group and want more information.

We are busy here in the office trying to make 2013 successful, so please let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.
