THE CHAMBER
CONNECTION APRIL 2023
EJC DAY AT THE CAPITAL
MEMBERSHIP MADNESS Membership Madness was a grassroots membership drive during the month of March. All Chamber events were open to non-members and we encouraged current members to invite business partners and friends to see what Chamber membership is all about. Members that referred a business that joined in March were entered into a drawing for $500. The winner is Chad Smith of Chad Smith Insurance! Chad referred Rolling in the Dough KC, an edible cookie dough food truck. Thank you to everyone who brought a guest to our March events. We are excited to welcome 9 new members to the Chamber this month!
CANDIDATE FORUM The Chamber and The Examiner co-hosted a Candidate Forum on Thursday, March 23. All candidates for the April election were invited to attend.
