New Online Benefit for Members
The Chamber is always looking for new ways to help bring more business to you, our members! We hope that a new online tool will do just that.
Business Connect is a simple way for anyone to submit a request for a certain product or service. An individual completes an online form and the information is submitted to the Chamber. Based on the business category indicated, the Chamber will email our members with the link to review the submission. You will also be able to view all the requests in Members Only. The rest is up to you, the member.

While there are many leadership styles, transformational leaders inspire their team members, build relationships and focus on long-term strategies. By utilizing transformational leadership techniques, understanding a leader's impact within the workplace and ensuring professional growth, these leaders know how to positively impact their workers.
During this Lunch & Learn presentation, attendees will learn about the three most common leadership styles and why transformational leaders can increase the success of an organization. Finally, this interactive session will include discussions of well-known transformational leaders, and attendees will be encouraged to share leader leadership best practices.
