While the Chamber has MANY member benefits, one that is not taken advantage of as often as you might think is the use of our “rolodex”. By that I mean our long list of contacts, connections, and access. This is especially true when it comes to local, regional, state and federal contacts. If you and or your business need to contact a local agency, legislator, or governing body keep in mind that the Chamber can help get you started in the right direction. A lot of that contact information is available on our website, often with a direct link the party you are looking for. If you can’t find it, or are not sure who you need, give us a call; we are always happy to help. On the local level, we work closely with our city leaders, various departments, and city personnel and we can often get you in touch with the right person with a simple call or two. And as for access, don’t forget that the chamber can also help hook you up with a personal visit with our County Mayor, State Representatives or Senator, City & County Commissioners, etc. And if you all you need is for someone to pass along an idea or suggestion, let us know that too. The Chamber leadership meets regularly with many of these people and we are always happy to help make the connections and get things done.
