Message from the President....Terri Kingery Crain

Good Afternoon Chamber Members!  
With just a few days to go until Spring Break, if your children are anything like ours then you they will soon be climbing the walls and ready for vacation. 
 
With Spring cleaning in mind I would like to encourage you to dust off your business plan and take a moment to contrast your goals and objectives to where you are today.  It is not too late to make any mid year course corrections necessary for your business to achieve its full potential.  The Chamber has resources available to you for counseling and mentoring.  Here is a short list: 
  • SBDC
  • SCORE
  • Business Leaders Forum 
  • Professional Women's Network     
For more information about any of these resources, please feel free to contact the Chamber.
