MEMBER NEWS
A new year begins and we all have a fresh start with new goals and opportunities to
make 2016 the best year ever. At the Chamber we are no different than all of you, we
would like to be more successful than last year.
In the planning process for 2016 it was noted that more participation from members
would be a goal to stress in ’16. So here is my challenge to you…try to participate in
one event this year. Participation can take on many shapes, from attending an AfterHours get together or maybe hosting an AfterHours? You could plan to be a sponsor
for the Annual Dinner/member appreciation or maybe a tee sponsorship at the Golf
outing? Make your business more visible to Washington County with participation in
the (WIN) Washington County Interactive Networking breakfasts.
The Chamber will also be kicking off a Hartford App for your mobile device. This interactive App will bring information to your customers leading them to your business.
Any way you chose to get involved I can assure you that you will get more by involvement and participation which will lead to success in the New Year.
Chamber Board Members and Ambassadors welcomed Jeannine Reszel,
BloodCenter of Wisconsin, with a ribbon cutting celebration on December 3, 2015.
