The program was marketed as a “ Membership Blitz ” and “ Membership Drive ” and was organized as a competition in which multiple members and volunteers competed to bring in new members to our chamber of commerce , with the winner being whoever brought in the most members .
Chamber CEO and President Dewan Clayborn spoke on the intent behind the event as well as why it was formatted as a competition .

I got a bunch of members who usually win and are big in their industries so I wanted to give them a fun way to be competitive and meet many new leaders .”
