Message from the President
Join us tomorrow at the Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce offices from 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. for our second Government and Legislative Affairs (GALA) meeting. This group is going to meet the second Friday of every month at the Chamber.

Our big event next week is the Speed Networking sponsored by Bright House Networks on Wednesday from 8:30 - 11:00 a.m. at Cristal Palace with breakfast by Einstein Bros. Bagels. This event is only $10 for members to attend and is a great opportunity to make a lot of contacts in a short period of time. Bring lots of business cards, brochures and collateral to distribute.
 
Finally, our initial meeting for the new Mastermind Group is at the Chamber on Thursday from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. Come see what masterminding is all about as it will definitely help you deal with issues that arise in business. We also have our Lead's Group meeting on Monday 13th at the Chamber from 11:45 - 1:00 p.m.

My goal is to provide opportunities for your businesses to thrive. We have added educational programs, new committees, networking opportunities, and more opportunities to be engaged with our Chamber.

All the best,

  FacebookWorkshop: Facebook for Business
Facebook, the #1 social networking site, began in 2004 and currently has 1.3 billion worldwide users - 100 million active in the USA. So, it makes sense to have your business there, however, no one wants to be sold to on Facebook, so how can you effectively use Facebook to market your business?

In this workshop we will have you a closer look at Facebook and the benefits of using it to grow your business. You will learn how other organizations are marketing on Facebook, some dos and don'ts of Facebook marketing, as well as tips on how to tell if your social media activity on Facebook is working! When you leave this workshop you will know the steps to take to develop engaging content!
