Chamber events are a great way to connect and promote your business One of the ways to highlight your business or organization is by sponsoring events. The Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce is currently connecting with members on sponsorship opportunities for 2020. A complete guide to these opportunities can be found on our website, manhattan.org. New for 2020 are two events. The first will be an award luncheon that will honor certain Manhattan businesses. Five awards have been established including a cornerstone award, a small business award, a woman and minority owned business award, an entrepreneurial award and a tourism business award. The event will take place in the late summer. Another event will be a new Chamber Power Lunch series. There will be five of these throughout the year that will spotlight a “newsmaker” over lunch. The event is similar to the current Good Morning Manhattan!, but will have only one speaker instead of three. Additionally, the expected events such as the annual dinner, regional leaders retreat, Women in Business and Leadership Manhattan are available for sponsorship opportunities.
