First of all, let me say how excited and honored we are that you have chosen to be a member of the Eatonton-Putnam Chamber of Commerce. It shows that you believe in our community and support business growth. We are proud to be able to serve and assist you in finding ways to grow your business; whether it is the networking opportunities, educational programs, sponsorships, resources and access to special promotions, or community support; we will be there for you. Our Chamber is about to undertake some major changes in our never ending process of evolving and growing to meet your needs. This month, your board of directors, the Chamber Champions and various business partners will be participating in a two day strategic planning retreat to create a new three to five year plan for your Chamber. After several board members attended a “How-To Workshop,” we are all looking forward to an aggressive future of growth and hope that you will continue to be a part of that. In the next few days, you will receive your 2013 annual investment renewal and sponsorship opportunities. Our goal is to double our Chamber Champions and hope you will consider that opportunity.
