Happy Sunday- 

My fellow members, exciting times are ahead in the chamber! In less than two weeks, we'll be hosting the Speed Networking event presented by Adam Doe | State Farm. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with others while receiving real-time feedback on how to refine your elevator pitch.

However, that's not all. We also have our Health and Wellness Fair coming up this Spring featuring incredible community partners like you. We’re still looking for health and wellness vendors—if that’s you, sign up to join in on the fun. Otherwise, save the date for a family-friendly day of engaging activities.

So what about this week? Well, you can look forward to a New Member Breakfast on Thursday, 2/20 and Meet Me for Lunch at Kribi Coffee on Friday, 2/21.

I hope you all have been enjoying the extra daylight as the sun stays with us a little longer each day. Warmer days are ahead, and with them, even more exciting developments to come later this year!

In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you—what are you most excited about? Mark your calendars for these amazing events, and we can’t wait to see you soon!

Best,

Darien Marion-Burton
