A Message on Membership From Tracy Patton

 

"All things being equal, people will buy from a friend.  All things being not quite so equal, people will still buy from a friend." 

                                       ~Mark McCormack

 

There are many benefits to our membership in the Chamber of Commerce. We have the opportunity to connect with and forge strong relationships with other business leaders in our community.  We enjoy educational workshops that provide us with the tools we need to keep our businesses relevant in an ever changing social and economic climate.  Through the Chamber of Commerce our collective voice is heard and we impact civic, social, and business initiatives that support our community.  The truth is, however, that the majority of us joined the Chamber of Commerce so that we could connect with others.  So the next time you attend one of our connection events, remember the reason you joined and make it a point to smile, extend your hand, and introduce yourself to two or three people you have never spoken with in the past;  you may be making the connection that will change your business!
