Thank you for being a chamber101.com member!
I don’t have to tell you what members dues mean to any organization. It keeps the doors open and helps the organization grow.

You are the ones that keep chamber101.com on line for the Chamber industry. 

For the rest of you, I often say if you use it, shouldn't you support it. For those non-members who, yet, cannot afford membership to chamber101, you can support it without financial aid by sending relevant chamber data. The phrase most people are searching for in search engines are:  renewal letter, membership renewal letter, sample of friendly collection letter, membership letter, friendly reminder letter, policies, tele-conversation.

Other data needed are policies and procedures; things that you and your staff see on a daily basis, how do you handle them.  Other chambers would be interested in seeing this type of information.

Tell us what you would like to see because I'm sure other Chambers would like to see the same things, too, by knowing what you're looking for on our site will better help us to serve you.

We have been busy laying out 40 foods for thought or exercises. The other 12 are going to be set aside as programs that you have asked for.  Something new, something different, something the same. remember chamber 101 is chuck-full of ideas. If you're working on a project and you think you've done everything, check in chamber 101, there might be something you've missed; or you might find something that makes your project go a little smoother.

This week we had two new chambers contact us that were not in our database and one other said we get your newsletters but asked, "What is chamber101 all about?"

I could use your help. The next time we have a Food for Thought or an exercise that you think you're neighboring chambers would appreciate reading, forward the e-mail on to them with or without comments about chamber101.

Two of my mentors that I met along the way told me:

"Each time we help another Chamber exec, or a Chamber to raise the bar, it raises the bar for all Chambers; and when we help another exec grow and his Chamber achieves a higher standard, we raise the professionalism of all people and Chambers."
