GET MORE FROM YOUR CANTON CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP: VALUE IN AULTCARE QUICKCONNECT SERIES

Each month, Canton Chamber members are given the opportunity to hear an inspiring, community-minded presentation by an upstanding speaker, enjoy a delicious meal, and network with fellow-chamber members at the AultCare QuickConnect series. This event is held on the third Wednesday of every month, as either a breakfast or luncheon. While there is a nominal fee to attend, the value far exceeds the cost.

According to Derek Watkins, AultCare QuickConnect committee member and owner of The Junkluggers of Akron & Canton, “We aim to provide a first-class experience to our members, visitors, and speakers.” He added that the committee focuses on adding value to members through the connections made during the breakfast or luncheon and by maintaining the reliability of the series format.

The AultCare QuickConnect series is a fantastic opportunity to invite visitors considering investing in a chamber membership. Many visitors become members before leaving AultCare QuickConnects after realizing the value of the speaker and networking.

New chamber members can attend their first AultCare QuickConnect at no extra charge, allowing them to experience the value and quality of the event for themselves.

In addition to quality speakers, delicious meals, and networking, members can have their company advertised in a handful of ways, such as:

DOOR PRIZE: when members provide a door prize valued at $15 or more, they can deliver a 30-second commercial at the front of the room.

SWEET TREAT SPONSORSHIP: members can sponsor the dessert or sweet treat at each place setting. The sponsoring member can attach a business card for each attendee for future reference. In addition, the sweet treat sponsor can share their services in a one-minute commercial.

CENTERPIECE SPONSORSHIP: members can provide the dining table centerpieces, which allows them to make a one-minute commercial to share their services.

At each AultCare QuickConnect, the Pledge of Allegiance is led by the Pledge Leader, a volunteer serving in the military, military veteran, emergency service provider, or community leader. The volunteer receives his or her admission at no charge. Please contact Kimberly Davis at KDavis@greatwork.jobs to express your interest in being a Pledge Leader.

Rae-Lin Jones, AultCare QuickConnect committee member and Branch Manager at Great Work! Employment Services, expresses, “AultCare QuickConnect is not only a great way to connect with local business leaders and other Canton chamber members, but it’s a great opportunity to promote your business and offerings to the community!”
