COMMUNITY WELCOME SERVICE
Below are statistics gathered from the Community Welcome Service gift box program through the Chamber. Newcomer households, within the first few weeks of arrival, receive information about Champaign County as well as a gift box full of coupons, free gifts and brochures provided by the program’s sponsors. In order to receive this gift box, newcomers must sign and return a demographic survey to the chamber. Sponsors of the program receive all the demographic information AND a master sheet of names and addresses of the residences that gift boxes were sent to so a follow-up targeted marketing plan can be developed. This program is a great way to get a business’ name out, as it is an essential time to position a business to a newcomer, as shopping loyalties have not yet been developed. To take advantage of this program, contact Chris Sheppard at the Chamber, 217.359.1791 or ChristopherS@ champaigncounty.org.

It is 2014 and unfortunately, there are still many gender differences in the workforce. According to recent statistics gathered by the Pew Research Center and the U.S. Census, today’s young women are starting their careers better educated than their male counterparts, but why are there still roadblocks to their success? Women are also less likely than men to ask for raises or aspire to top management jobs. This series is meant to empower the women of Champaign County and teach them about the unconscious mistakes that could be holding them back in their career. To attend the series the cost is $69 for members and $99 for non-members. Lunch will be provided at both seminars. To register, contact Caryn Isenhower at caryni@champaigncounty.org or 217.359.1791. Seating is limited and the registration deadline is Friday, May 2, 2014.
