Event attendance is the number one thing you can do to see a return on the investment of your Chamber membership. Stay in-the-know with GHC e-mails and social media, be engaged—volunteer and serve in leadership roles. When you’re participating at Chamber functions, get to know your fellow members (and refer them to others). The strength of the Greater Hewitt Chamber rests in our relationships. The more members get to know one another, the stronger our Chamber, community and the local economy become. Attending events, especially when you’re new, can be overwhelming! We encourage our members to perfect their “elevator pitch” for networking events (you should be able to tell your name and position, business name, what your business offers and your ideal referral, all in 30 seconds). Networking is integrated into every event, and we offer educational programs covering topics such as “Accounting Best Tips and Practices,” “Social Media Management,” “Leadership,” and “Financial Health” just to name a few.
