Lee’s Summit Chamber Mid-Year Update Over the past few years the Lee’s Summit Chamber membership base has grown to be one of the largest in the metropolitan area. In fact, we were pleased to recently learn that we maintained our rank of the third largest chamber by the Kansas City Business Journal. Here at the Chamber we strive to keep the Lee’s Summit business community at the top by improving and implementing new programs and benefits for our members.

As the champion of emerging businesses, the Chamber provides an array of programs and events for our nearly 1,000 members to increase the visibility of their business. We provide opportunities to meet and work with the best and brightest leaders in business, government and education. So far this year the Chamber has
successfully added new activities to our already busy calendars. During the spring of 2012, the Chamber took its first organized trip to Washington D.C. Our delegation spent time meeting with senators and representatives and engaging with US Chamber officials. One month later, over 60 members joined us as we took our annual train trip to Jefferson City to meet with our State elected officials. Still to come in 2012, we look forward to rolling out our entrepreneurial platform to grow and foster new businesses in Lee’s Summit. Stay tuned for more details on our exciting Boost Lee’s Summit program. Of course the Chamber continues to provide the services that our members have come to expect. We continue to sponsor the Leadership Lee’s Summit program, which is a 9-month program continued on page 2 >>
