January’s an exciting month for all of us! For the most part, we find ourselves reflecting on our lives and setting goals for the New Year. Whether it’s professional or personal goals, everyone attempts to start a new chapter in their life. As an organization dedicated to the creation of a strong local economy, the Chamber realizes the importance of assisting our members in achieving their goal of success in business. This is why we work daily to develop ideas for new programs that will offer networking, business education and community involvement. One new change for the Chamber is the creation of a Home-based Business Group. Our membership is comprised greatly of home-based businesses and there is a great need to provide ongoing education, training, and support to this category of businesses. Guest speakers will be on hand every 3rd Friday of the month at 9AM at the Chamber office to shed light on important topics such as financing, business laws, marketing, etc. This new group is open to all Chamber members and there is no additional cost involved in joining. The first speaker for January 18th will be Roger Birdsall who will discuss financing opportunities for businesses in San Joaquin County. If you are a home-based business you don’t want to miss it! The 2013 calendar of Coffees & Mixers has been finalized and can be found on page 10 of this newsletter. Please mark your calendar and set a reasonable goal to attend as many events as you can. The more presence your business has, the more likely you will be to receive referrals and leads from others! Happy New Year from all of us at the Chamber!
Deadline for iShop Tracy Contest is January 11th!
