Chamber needs your opinion to serve you: member survey
Please take a few minutes to respond to the online member survey coming your way next week. The survey is briefer than last year's version and it's completely confidential so feel free to express your opinion and make any constructive recommendations for improvement. The results will be reported in the near future. The Chamber plans its business networking events, directs its advocacy work and develops its services in response to the opinion of you, its members. The more who participate the more accurate your direction will be. Thank you.
