August 2019
Mission: Champions for business success & quality of
David Letterman used to have “Top 10” lists each night. Following his lead, and inspired by this month’s membership campaign, here are my Top 10 reason to be a member of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.10. Focused Advocacy: Working with elected officials to assure that we sustain a business-friendly, globally-competitive government, you add your voice to the democratic process.9. Business Intelligence: Being part of the Chamber provides access to who is doing what across the region.8. Community Support: The Chamber is the vital link that joins our businesses with government, education, and non-profits to promote a great quality of life for all.7. Cost-Effective Marketing: Every chamber member has the opportunity to market itself as much or as little as they choose,
whether to other businesses or the public, we can all get our messages out.6. Improved Operations: We can all learn better ways to do business, cut cost, increase profits, and manage our personnel more effectively though our Chamber’s array of programming and networking options.5. Natural Networking: From informal chats to gala events, every member has the opportunity to meet, mix, and mingle with the area’s business leaders, customers, and even the competition.4. ROI: Studies of chamber membership indicate that your return-on-Investment is estimated to be anywhere from 3x to 10x, depending on your engagement.3. Just-in-Time Information: The Chamber’s flow of information – from social media to training programs – provides every business with useful tools and tactics to improve the bottom line. Plus, even the display racks in the Chamber’s offices are great for learning new things about our regions.2. Regional Leadership: You have the opportunity to spread your leadership wings through committees, the board of directors, training, and much more. The Young Professionals Leadership program may be the most recognized program, but there are many other options.And, the #1 reason:1. Instant Credibility: When you are a Chamber member, everyone knows you are affiliated with the respected local representative of the nation’s finest business organization.
There are lots of exciting events in August: The CCISD New Teachers Luncheon on Aug. 7th, Business After Hours at Franca’s on Aug. 14th, our General Membership Luncheon on Aug. 28th, and the membership campaign all month long. Also, don’t forget to buy your tickets and tables for the Chairman’s Ball on October 4th! Come out and join us and bring a potential member! See you there,
