Ambassador Spotlight
Workforce Spotlight The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce continues to enhance its focus on workforce development. As such, chamber president Gary Laird attended the U.S. Chamber’s Business Leads Fellowship Program.
This month, we'd like to thank Kyle Barmoy for his dedication to the Chamber Ambassador program. Barmoy joined the ambassador committee in early 2018 and has since attended dozens of events, promoted the chamber to countless prospective members, and even graduated from our Leadership Hanover program! Barmoy is the Marketing/Operations Manager for Hanover Land Services, a Civil Engineering, Land Planning, and Surveying consulting firm (and our small business of the year for 2018!). Many thanks to Barmoy on his engagement with the chamber throughout the past year. Our chamber ambassador committee is looking to expand! We are currently seeking energetic volunteers to help us engage with current and prospective members. Responsibilities include monthly meetings as well as events, drop-ins, and more. Ready to join? Contact Haley Briggs at hbriggs@hanoverchamber.com or 717-637-6130 x104.
Ambassador Sponsor
The first session, focusing on early education, K-12, and career readiness, took place in September. As a result of this initial session, the chamber has decided to develop K-12 strategies in its 2019-2021 strategic plan. In January, Laird attended the second and final session focusing on higher education, workforce development, and upskilling and reskilling. He plans to apply his findings to the chamber’s current apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship model. The workshops were led by expert faculty as well as staff from state and local chambers who have put policy into practice to bring change and opportunity to their communities.

Hoffman Community Room, HACC’s Gettysburg Campus This program, presented by Peter C. Miele, chief operating officer and director of education, Seminary Ridge Museum in Gettysburg, aims to illuminate some of the finer points of African-American experience in the Civil War. This discussion examines these barriers to service and looks at three specific instances of AfricanAmerican service as it relates to Pennsylvania, namely the experience of Pennsylvania men in the 54th Massachusetts, the organization of a company of African-Americans at Gettysburg, and the combat of two companies of men who fought at Wrightsville during the Confederate invasion.

Brown Bag Session: Civility and Social Media February 13, Noon–1 p.m., Robert C. Hoffman Community Room, HACC’s Gettysburg Campus Social media is a tool in almost every industry and has had a significant effect on national politics. However, the tenor of online communication can be hostile. Are civil communication and social media mutually exclusively? How does implicit bias influence civil discourse? What are our individual responsibilities in online communication? Linda Beck, communications professional and consultant, will address the growth of the incivility in social media including bullying, trolling and more. Brown Bag Session: Where am I eating and how did I get there? February 26, Noon-1 p.m., Robert C. Hoffman Community Room, HACC’s Gettysburg Campus What are the connections between food, humans and culture? When we think about the role food plays in our life in most cases we only think about it from the focus of the need for nutrition, but how does food teach us about culture? Where do the foods we eat and enjoy originate? This talk will explore the connections we have with food and how it is important to the spread of culture across the world.
