Lorena and MacKenzie had the pleasure of taking time to stop-in and visit some of our current Chamber members to show our appreciation for their membership and check-in with them over the last week. They were also happy to be able to visit with several of our other local businesses in the southern end of the county while out and about. They enjoyed meeting the business owners and staff while providing a little gift and discussing how Chamber membership could be beneficial.
Keep an eye out, Lorena and MacKenzie may be dropping in to visit you soon too! If you know of a business who isn't a Chamber member yet but you believe could benefit from our membership, please let us know so we can visit them as well.

Shaprio Administration Launches Marketing Campaign to Attract Business
Ed Gruver, Central Penn Business Journal
March 15, 2024
The Shaprio administration has launched a marketing campaign aimed at attracting businesses to Pennsylvania. "Pennsylvania Gets It Done" targets C-suite executives at mid to large businesses and site selection consultants statewide across Pennsylvania and in Chicago and New York City. The campaign runs through April and is designed to strengthen Pennsylvania's competitiveness. Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary (DCED) Rick Siger announced the marketing campaign on Thursday. "To compete for the attraction and retention of new and existing businesses, we must invest in economic development and aggressively market Pennsylvania as a great place to do business," Siger said in a statement. "'Pennsylvania Gets It Done' is a dynamic and impactful business attraction campaign that will build greater awareness around our economic development strategy and motivate business leaders in the commonwealth and beyond our borders to rediscover al that Pennsylvania has to offer." The governor's office said the campaign builds on the 10-year Economic Development Strategy launched in January.

UC Fraud and UC-1099G Tax Forms
Victim of unemployment fraud?
Criminals using stolen identities filed claims for unemployment compensation in other people's names. Because unemployment compensation is taxable, state unemployment agencies submit Forms 1099-G to individuals in whose names and Social Security numbers the unemployment compensation was paid and to the IRS. Victims of fraud who receive Forms 1099-G with inaccurate amounts of unemployment compensation in Box 1 should notify the state agencies of the inaccuracies and request corrected Forms 1099-G. The Department of Labor details www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/UIIDtheft.

Did you know........
Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.
Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
