NEXT STEPS
Now that you know your engagement level. We have great opportunities to get you active in the business
evolution in Cheyenne. Here are our suggested next steps.

CIVIC SPECIALIST
DISENGAGED
While you are considered to
be disengaged there are quick
ways you can evaluate your
interests and contribute to the
community to make it a better
place to live. First, determine
your top 10 priorites and then
determine your top 10 passions. Do they align?
Yes- now you can find community organizations, events and
activities you can get involved
with which incorporates your
priorities and adheres to your
passions.
No- Take some time to find
the disconnection and try to
determine ways to make your
priority list and passions list
more aligned. Try that for a
while and then make your lists
again.
Do you need help identifying
your passions and knowing
truly what kind of influence
you would like to have on your
community? Contact us at the
Greater Cheyenne Chamber of
Commerce. We can help guide
you to opportunities which will
allow you to find your match.
You never know, you may surprise yourself and find a new
level of personal development
through enriching fundraisers
