so many great business professionals. Business contacts are important to everyone and being a Chamber Partner makes getting those contacts much easier. Supporting the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce strengthens not only the business community but the community of Cheyenne as a whole. The stronger the business community, the stronger the City becomes and the cycle just continues to feed off itself. Tim Barth, Cheyenne Regional Airport SHOWED GRATITUDE “The Chamber constantly helps the Airport by supporting a wide array of projects from air service development initiatives, to building the new terminal and for economic development partnerships. It’s an ongoing relationship that we value. Interaction with the members, the Chamber staff who make it happen and the Action and Advocacy committee which serves as a watchdog to ensure local initiatives are kept in perspective. For all the reasons listed above. It’s mutual support, like being part of a family. Hat’s off to the Chamber staff, they really make it happen and never get enough credit. Thanks guys/gals!” Paul Reynolds Capital Business Systems Inc. Cody McRady, Dyno Nobel Inc. FOUND A MENTOR “I am currently participating in the Cheyenne Professional Network (CPN) group. CPN’s commitment to retention of Cheyenne professionals is a great endeavor and a tremendous opportunity for professional development. I feel that this connection with the Cheyenne Chamber, has provided more opportunity for networking and personal than I could have ever expected. Connections I have made this far through CPN have proven valuable, and the Mentoring program is a great benefit to young professionals of any chosen discipline. This benefit (CPN) provided by the Cheyenne Chamber and CPN leadership volunteers is a great opportunity that I am very happy to have participated in. The value in my participation in the Cheyenne Chamber has been networking with other professionals that range from being very early in their careers, to being very well established in business and the community. I have already benefitted noticeably from this networking and CPN mentorship program. I think the Chamber adds value to its members by establishing a forum that provides a wide range of opportunity to meet personal goals, and develop connections that are beneficial to all.” Carol Tullio, CASA of Laramie County BUILT AWARENESS “I was launching a new product that I thought would be of value to many of our local businesses. The first thing I did was contact the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce to get a copy of the Chambers membership list in an excel format. The staff responded quickly to get the information required to our marketing department. “Being a partner of the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce is valuable as well as a good business practice for CASA of Laramie County. It shows other members that we are committed and involved in our community. Being a small nonprofit that deals with confidential situations makes it a challenge to build awareness in our community. Being a member of the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce helps us build awareness about our program and help us to make new business contacts in our community. The connections that we make are very valuable.” We were able to create a marketing plan to specific vertical markets. The product was well received by our chamber members. Capital Business Systems was able to increase our sales and also provide a benefit to local business.” “THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR PARTNERS. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU WE ARE STRONG! WE VALUE YOUR PARTNERSHIP.” GENERATED EXCITEMENT - GREATER CHEYENNE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Q4 2015 BUSINESS JOURNAL l PG 45
