MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE DELAWARE STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU Welcome to the 9th Annual Joint Tabletop Mixer!

James A. Wolfe President & CEO Delaware State Chamber of Commerce

The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau of Delaware invite you to the biggest business networking event of the year. For those of you who have attended any (or even ALL) of the past eight years, you know the value of this major business event at the Chase Center on the Riverfront.

Each year, the State Chamber and the BBB jam the Chase Center with exhibitors for every business need and interest, from banking to tech support, and plenty of fun, door prizes and refreshments. It’s a sure-fire formula for drawing hundreds of attendees for an evening of networking and business-building.

In fact, this is the best opportunity you’ll find this year for reaping new business and finding savings for your own organization, so pack your business cards and be prepared to talk up your products, services and your needs.

Be sure to visit the Delaware State Chamber’s exhibit table #108. The State Chamber offers an exclusive line-up of benefits designed to bring value and savings to Chamber members.

Be sure to pick up your Delaware Drug Card, a discount prescription drug card distributed exclusively by the State Chamber. And check out the State Chamber Health Plan underwritten

by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware and designed for small business employers.

Stop by the Better Business Bureau exhibit table #60. Remember to start your search with trust when looking for a vendor or business partner and start with the Better Business Bureau.

Also, receive more information on an upcoming program with the US Attorney’s Office on Protecting Your Company Against Identity Theft.

We thank The News Journal, Horizon Services, and all of our event sponsors, for their continued support of the State Chamber, the Better Business Bureau, and all businesses in Delaware. And we thank you for taking the time to join us and all the exhibitors on Sept. 29 at the Chase Center on the Riverfront.

So take a look at this special supplement published by The News Journal’s marketing department and use it to map out your networking plan. Let us help you connect with the business community and grow this fall. The Delaware State Chamber and the Better Business Bureau work for you.

Christine R. Sauers President Better Business Bureau of Delaware

Sincerely,

James A. Wolfe President & CEO Delaware State Chamber of Commerce
