Chamber seeks committee representatives

After deliberations earlier in the year, the Chamber Council has determined the new committee structure. The three committees - which include Government Relations, Marketing and Communications, and Member Services and Development - will begin meeting in the near future when meeting schedules are agreed upon.

Each committee will be chaired and overseen by at least one member of the Chamber Council or staff, and we are looking to increase the number of committee participants with volunteers from our membership.

If you are a committed, hard-working individual who wants to implement positive change then one of these committees would be perfect for you.

Retail potential unlocked in recent SME Workshop

Our SME workshops continued last week, with attendees packing-out the conference room for the seminar on retail potential. SME owners and business individuals alike sat engrossed by the presentations given by the guest speakers invited to divulge their tips-and-tricks.

The guest speakers for the session included senior consultant Samantha Widmer, operations and merchandising specialist Alexandre Tabacoff, and communications & social media marketing expert Trina Savage; all of whom work for Savage Consulting. All three speakers delivered thought-provoking and stimulating speeches, all of which will certainly provide those in attendance with food-for-thought.

The speakers also invited the audience to participate with questions throughout the session, heightening their involvement in the session and enhancing the personal nature of it too.

Mentoring Cayman class cruise through sixth session

The sixth session of this year's Mentoring Cayman class took place last night, Monday 2nd May, with the students and their mentors taking a trip down to George Town Yacht Club. On arrival, they boarded a MarineLand Tour catamaran, and spent the next hour-and-a-half exploring the North Sound area.

This was only the second time during the programme in which all students and their mentors met in a group session. The attendees spent their time on the vessel mingling with one another and discussing their experiences on the course thus far.
