This week's email includes a video about this week's After Hours at First United Bank, two new members to welcome, and a reminder for any of our new members who joined during our membership event 2 weeks ago to help us complete their directory listing. You'll also find sponsored content from Benchmark International regarding buying or selling a business and several events that are coming up in the next two weeks. Be sure to check out the new graphic with all of our Supporting Small Business Initiative partners. We are thrilled to have 10 new partners or upgrades as a result of our Member Mania event recently, so watch for more free events coming soon that these SSBI partnerships help support. You can get more information on all of this and more below.
We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and add new information and resources to our COVID Resource Page on our website that may be important to our members.
On behalf of our staff, Board of Directors, and the Amarillo business community, we want to thank you for your continued support of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, and we look forward to serving you now and in the future. Please let us know what we can do to help your business.
