Boynton Beach Happenings

CONNECTING

IN BOYNTON BEACH AND BEYOND

Michelle Jackson, Get Dry

Being the Chair for the Ambassadors in the Boynton Beach area has given me so many opportunities to connect with wonderful Chamber Members. I think the best part to me is not necessarily finding a connection for myself or my business, but when I can connect other members who need each other. Being an Ambassador, and especially the Chair, puts me front and center in meetings and events, with special mentions that promote my business. I love to be the first smile a new Member or visitor gets and to welcome them.

I was brought up in a town in Indiana where being a Chamber Member was held with most prestige. That drove me to Chamber Membership very early in my business career. It has proved to be very beneficial and I continue my hometown feeling of pride.

As Co-Chair of the Women’s Business Council, I have the opportunity to bring together a group of wonderful professional women. Knowing the nature of each member business, I encourage 1:1 connections and those who would be good strategic partners. Being Co-Chair also allows me the ability to mention Women’s Business Council at other Chamber events, which I believe adds more recognition and credibility to my own business. Therefore, it’s a win-win for everyone! Robert A. Manela, CPA, Consulting CPA, PLLC

I joined the Connector Leads Group of the Chamber after "restarting" my accounting and tax practice in January. The Chamber and Leads group has allowed me to keep in touch with what's happening in business and the community of Boynton Beach, Boca Raton and all of South County especially in this difficult year of Covid. The Group and Chamber adapted to using Zoom for meetings which actually made it convenient to attend meetings with my busy schedule. The group has introduced me to other members of the business community who have similar goals of building my practice, and business network of other like-minded business owners and professionals.

As Chair of the PowerNetworking Leads Group, my responsibility is to make connections the benefit for each individual member of my group. The most important first step is to have everyone have a one on one. It's equally important to know someone personally as well as professionally. This has allowed me to know more about the business and whether or not a specific referral is a good fit. It also helps drive group cohesiveness which in turn allows referrals to flow more freely.
