Value of a LEAD$ group

Dear Members, In an effort to expand our capacity to connect our members, support your businesses, and provide environments to help in this phase of reopening, we are looking to add a new LEAD$ Group to our repertoire. Based on providing a variety of options, as well as the survey we sent at the end of the year, this group will be in the evening. 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 5:30pm Please email Jim soon if you would be interested in joining this new LEAD$ group. #StrongerTogetherSTC! Jim "Being in a Lead$ group at the Chamber has benefited my business greatly. Our group truly cares about each other and wants to see everyone succeed; it is not just words, but actions. I have gotten so many referrals from my lead$ group. Attending my group is a highlight of my month." - Patrice Boenzi, Fathom Realty
