FROM THE CHAMBER LUANNE NEWMAN Director of Organizational Development League City Regional Chamber of Commerce [email protected] Maximize your Membership TIPS FOR YOU Y Visibility is vital for you to get your brand out. In addition to the aforementioned event opportunities, the Chamber offers other chances for you to be seen and even poised as an expert in your field. Members may write an article for MOMENTUM in which they educate and inform, rather than advertise their business. This is a member benefit in a publication that is for the members, brought to you by the members. Have you taken advantage of attending events? We literally offer them morning, noon, and night and they include Membership luncheons, Ribbon Cuttings, educational breakfasts or lunch presentations, and After Hours Mixers, to name a few. If “cold calling” is in your job description, a Chamber event is a “warm” event where everyone wants to know who you are and what you do. Be sure you have a good handful of your business cards with you, of course. Affinity programs such as the Office Depot/ OfficeMAX National Chamber Program offer members discounts and special pricing they can get nowhere else while supporting the Chamber. ActionCOACH, Discover Bay Area Texas app, AMOCO Federal Credit Union, and Synergi are other Chamber affinity programs. Look for the AFFINITY tab on our website.
