INTRODUCTION

From the Executive Director

A

t the Lander Chamber of Commerce we exist to help you, our members. To accomplish this goal, we bring you professional development, networking, and business support and development. And guess what? We have a lot of upcoming opportunities for our member businesses to continue to improve!

First, if you are anyone who deals with revenues, expenses, and cash flows (yep, that is likely more than 80% of all our members ;-), we highly recommend that you register for the Small Business Development Center’s Profit Mastery Financial Management Seminar. This seminar is brought to you by the SBDC and the Lander Chamber of Commerce and is open to all Chamber members.

Second, we hosted the first-of-the-season Business After Hours at Stanbury and Strike....did you attend? If not, do not worry, the next BAH of the season is taking place at Wind River Physical Therapy on October 15. Business After Hours is a networking function where it is acceptable to walk up to any of the 40+ community-business-leaders and say, “Hi, my name is ___insert name here____ and I am passionate about ____insert business purpose____” and the person you are talking to will be legitimately interested.

Third, did you know that you can post deals, sales, and community announcements as part of your Chamber membership? Yep, you can, and it is free of charge. Visit our website for more info on this easy and effective member benefit. http://landerchamber.org/memberbenefits/ Finally, a big “thank you” goes to Ron Hansen of Wind River Outdoor Co. and the One Stop Market for offering his support and a $2,500 challenge-gift during our last Lander LIVE concert series. Not only did Elephant Revival rock the house, but your contributions and donations will make it possible for Lander LIVE to continue in 2016!

ore than 1,200 people came out to enjoy Lander LIVE’s season finale show featuring Elephant Revival.

The record breaking attendance was matched with high donations, which put the music series over the Chamber of Commerce’s goal of $15,000 raised from individual donations.

At the start of the first show the Chamber was seeking donations to help cover the extra cost in building a new stage in the park. “$15,000 in donations from our Lander community seemed like a very attainable goal, and would help us break even on the event and the stage.” said Rose Burke, the Chamber’s event coordinator.

Each week Lander LIVE

volunteers asked concert goers to give a donation, and donations came in many denominations. “I was so impressed that at each show our donation numbers went up and up,” added Burke.

“People were really impressed with the event and were excited to help support it.”

The event brings all types of people to town to stay, eat and shop plus it is a great reward for all the residents to have great music in such a wonderful setting.”

On stage Elephant (Photo: Kyle Duba) Revival put together an excellent performance.

Playing from all of their studio albums the band played for over 90 minutes to an enthusiastic record turnout crowd of listeners and people dancing. Many of Elephant Revival’s biggest fans were there including Willow Wells and Ella Stanbury, both 9 years old of Lander, who waited patiently by the stage for the opportunity to meet members of their favorite band. Elephant Revival band manager, Molly Foehl, commented that “The Lander community is one of the most hospitable that this band has ever encountered on tour. I hope we can be invited back again soon.”

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPEMENT

Financial Management Seminar Pull out your calendar and mark off October 13 and 14 and get excited to get off the sidelines of your fiscal game.

The Wyoming Small Business Development Center hosts and facilitates a nationally recognized Profit Mastery class for anyone invested, impacted, or curious about their business’ (or soon-to-be

dust off) what the difference is between “cash-flow” and “profit” and “benchmarks” and “margins”? How about building some handrails to know if you’re actually below the fiscal waterline (when

business) financial health.

Two weekdays, 8am to 5pm, for a nominal cost (includes lunch!) at the Lander Library.

Sign up online or by phone for a normal-humanfriendly (read: accessible) high-impact financial management boot camp.

Want to improve cashflow? Want to know (or

you suddenly feel like you’re drowning when that repair bill comes in?)

Here’s the nittygritty marketing copy from the SBDC website: “The most successful businesses have found that the key to long-term success revolves around effective financial management. Through case studies and a down-toearth style, experience this remarkable powerful program: understand why and how to benchmark your company performance; establish the difference between “making a profit” and “having cash” and how to do more of both; create effective, practical plans to improve the financial health of your business.

The format is a combination of video presentation by a leading expert, Steve Lefever, case studies, and facilitated discussion.”

WHO: Business owners, managers, pharmacists and freerange doctors (it counts as continuing education hours) WHAT: Two-day seminar. $195. Free lunches.

WHEN: Tuesday, October 13 (8am-5pm) and Wednesday, October 14 (8am-5pm) WHERE: Lander Library HOW: https://www.wysbdc.org/ workshop.aspx?ekey=60350005
