President's Corner

Build your Business Network

The chamber would like to welcome Gregory Jones as our speaker at the February general meeting luncheon. Greg is the executive director of Economic Development South (EDS).
He will share with us current EDS projects and issues and what is projected for the future in our communities. EDS’s redevelopment approach is vital to attract new residents and businesses.

The Brentwood Baldwin Whitehall Chamber supports EDS’s redevelopment plans and is pleased to present $5,000 to support our common interest in the economic vitality of our communities.

Legacy Lanes will host a Mixer for the Chamber on February 22nd. Have you attended a Chamber function lately?

Everyone needs to network: small business owners, job seekers, even the most successful entrepreneurs! The purpose of networking is to build relationships so you can generate new business from someone you know or someone who knows someone you know.

Networking is about building relationships. It is about the quality of your contacts, not the quantity. It is about consistency. The best is to belong to two or three groups, attend their events regularly, get to know the other members, and in exchange they will get to know you!

So start this year with a networking event! Bring your business cards and a friend and attend the February 2nd luncheon or the February 22nd Mixer...Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Debbie Maddock
