Hi Chamber Members & Friends,

 

How are you? No, really. How ARE you?

 

This is a challenging time and we know that you are pivoting, pivoting some more, and – have we mentioned the word “Pivot”? We know you’ve been hearing it. And, while you are changing to the “New Normal,” or the “Now Normal,” one thing is certain – life doesn’t feel normal!

 

You’re masking, and washing, and preparing to home-school, and care-giving and running a business. You’re trying to build your connections while maintaining social distancing.

 

It’s a lot!

 

One thing you can count on, though, is that the Chamber is open. We are still working for you. We still have your back. We are still offering (safe!) networking opportunities.

 

Please sign up for one of the following programs to build your skills, enhance your life, and solve business challenges.
