Fall is finally in the air and another hugely successful Eggplant Festival is behind us. Putting together such a large event is no small feat - it takes a lot of volunteers. I throughly enjoy the event each year, and what I look forward to the most is spending the day working along side my fellow chamber members. Whether it is traffic control, setting up, directing parking, working a booth or checking in vendors, we have a chance to talk and catch up on life and our businesses.
Our members who volunteer are engaging and tend to reap the benefits available to their businesses more than those who choose not to engage in the Chamber. There are many ways to engage and volunter, events, committees, monthly business connection, and mixers. Ask any board member or ambassador and we can share how to engage with the Chamber today.
Engage, connect, and grow is more than just a motto - it's a "no brainer". We all want to see our businesses grow.
