Your business automatically gains the publicity and brand recognition you need, in a positive and receptive environment. Business and community leaders recognize and appreciate companies that help them gain knowledge and make important contacts.

We offer a limited number of Chamber Partnerships which allow you to combine all or some of our events into one package. We have created a menu from which you can customize your partnership. If you are already planning to participate in some of our events, a partnership package actually saves you money – and gives you great exposure on our weekly e-newsletters, Chamber Link and signage.

Watch your mail and email for the 2015 Partnership Packages.

Chamber Committee Highlight - Annual Gala Task Force The Annual Gala Task Force works behind the scenes in helping the event go off without a hitch! The primary role of the task force is putting together an amazing shopping experience through the auction, which is always a highlight of the event.

This is a short-term commitment, with one meeting per month from November-January, and a wrap-up celebration in February. If you’d like an opportunity to make connections with fellow members on behalf of the Chamber and be an integral part in the success of the event, we’d love for you to join the Annual Gala Task Force! The first meeting is 4 p.m.

Monday, Nov. 10 at the Depot. Contact Chrissy Symes at 816.524.2424 or csymes@lschamber.com for details.

Local Chambers: The Rodney Dangerfields of History?

by Chris Mead At this time of election campaigns, many local chambers of commerce make news via candidate forums, endorsements, and more. But after the first Tuesday in November, the silence returns. The U.S., however, would be almost unrecognizable if the million acts of 7,000 local chambers could somehow be removed from its past. Here are a few reasons why we’ve forgotten what chambers have done and continue to do: 1. They tend to avoid taking credit. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”

2. They don’t have overt power and so they must share credit for accomplishments with those who have the final say, even if the project was the chamber’s idea. This inability to control the whole thing makes poor news copy. “The chamber was 40 percent responsible for the new convention center” is a headline none of us will ever see.

3. Individuals, not groups, capture our attention. Do we think about the 600,000 shivering French troops outside Moscow, or the short, charismatic man responsible for it, with his hand inside his vest?

4. Chambers, by design, start things and spin them off. Many festivals, transportation projects, and civic improvements began at chambers but went on to be managed by other groups. Years later, we forget where it all started.

5. “Rich boy makes good” or “rich boy does good” makes boring copy. Yet most chamber members aren’t rich. And sometimes these individuals, rich or poor, put their heads together and change their communities in fascinating ways.

6. The business of business people is business. Entrepreneurs are lionized for the way they line their wallets. We don’t usually think of their other lives, in which they may eclipse their business achievements.

7. “It was inevitable.” Of course if you put influential people in 7,000 cities and towns together, for a dozen or more times a year for 10, or 50 or 200 years, something’s going to happen. But the real question is, why do some chambers hit it out of the park, while others hit themselves on the head – sometimes repeatedly?

8. Government organizations and nonprofit groups have proliferated, frequently with the support of chambers of commerce. It’s not hard to get lost in these many-thicketed woods.

9. Local chambers aren’t ideological. They often lean to the right on general economic and business issues, but when it comes to getting that bridge funded or a bond issue for a much-needed school, they can veer to the left faster than a speeding politician. Not being easily classified politically, chambers are not easily grasped by students of history.

10. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1912, is often seen as the leader of local chambers; in some ways it is, but there is no hierarchy or unified governing body in the American chamber universe. Local chambers are not “chapters” under the national chamber. The U.S. Chamber, often involving the loose federation of local chambers, has played a major role in American history. And so, too, have thousands of local chambers, plugging away with on policy, politics, and place-making since the first one emerged in New York in 1768.

11. Most chamber members are neither saints nor villains. They aren’t ashamed of profits but they want to help their community. Where’s the hot story in those intertwined goals?

12. Chambers of commerce depend to a significant extent on something you can’t touch. What is the “Atlanta spirit” or the “Spirit of St. Louis”? While we’ve toned down the boosterism of a century ago, chambers of commerce still rely on bonds among individuals within the chamber, and within the community, to make things better than they are. Whether it’s a “rah-rah” spirit or a buttoned-down, urban, noblesse oblige-inspired caring for the community, it can be very real.

13. Local chambers are “just local.” Where’s the sweep of history and the path of armies? Where’s the glamour of Main Street? What’s the glory in changing a street-sign ordinance? And yet, as Tip O’Neill said, “All politics is local.” Jerusalem, Florence, and Athens are local. From comparatively little places, big things can happen.

HSMC Orizon Boosts IT Services with Acquisition In an effort to strengthen its consulting services for information technology services, HSMC Orizon LLC acquired IT21. The acquisition boosts the capability and geographic reach of HSMC Orizon’s technology division. The founders of IT21, Chuck Nuffer and Rick Mentel, will continue to consult and collaborate with HSMC Orizon.

Nuffer and Mentel formerly worked as IT professionals for Western Auto/Parts America, but when the company was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. in 1998, they started IT21. The consulting firm became one of the busiest in the tech sector, which made it attractive to HSMC. Michael Bohning, president of HSMC’s technology division, said he was introduced to Nuffer and Mentel through a mutual acquaintance and liked what he saw at the company. Benchmarking the firm’s financials against peers showed it as one of the best in the business, Bohning said in a release.

“They’ve done a terrific job of building formal processes, policies and procedures for clients,” Bohning said in the release. “Whether IT21 is managing a client’s servers, workstations and security, or managing a more significant technology refresh project, Chuck and Rick have systems in place to manage all of the little things that often wind up costing a business owner time and money. They love helping clients get the most out of their technology instead of dealing with surprises and downtime.”

HSMC Orizon was created in October 2012 when Lee’s Summit-based HSMC Certified Public Accountants merged with Omaha-based Orizon CPAs LLC. Ever since, the company has been actively involved in mergers and acquisitions, looking for targets that can add new expertise or capabilities to assist in the company’s growth.
