Community Involvement
Get Involved
It has been mentioned before that word of mouth is the oldest form of business promotion. It has stood the test of time and remains the most important way to promote your business. The most effective word of mouth is done by networking. But, being involved in the community is just as important.
Being active in community organizations can also give valuable business exposure. When you serve on a board, such as your Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors or Ambassadors Club, you are networking with fellow business leaders and getting your name recognized as a leader in the community. Aside from making valuable connections, you are making a difference and bettering the community in which you live and work.
Get involved! Below is a list of Chamber committees and area nonprofits to help you get involved!
