SHAY HOLLAND MARKETING DIRECTOR

Hello Chamber Members,

Welcome to March. We're all relieved that we escaped the frigid Winter this year and we're officially in Spring mode! Many of us are ready to spruce up our homes, our wardrobes, and our yards - but it's also the perfect time to dust off our career goals too. Maybe the last few years of virtual everything have put a dent in the whole idea of "meeting new people and getting more involved in the community." Maybe you're like me and you're a true introvert at heart, but you know you can't achieve all your goals from your living room anymore. So let's help you take a baby step and put some plans into action. Where do you start? We have a few ideas. Try any of Chamber opportunities:

Business After/Before Hours * Chamber Luncheons * Macomb Business Academy

Young Professionals of Macomb * Ambassadors Committee * Government Affairs Committee Transportation Committee * And so many more!

These are just a few of the ways you can get out of your comfort zone and connect with local business professionals. We are blessed in this region to have a close-knit community, where everyone seems to have a more the merrier mentality when it comes to success. So make this Spring the season you start putting your goals into practice. Start small; attend one event, shake one hand, and see where it takes you. It just might open up a whole world of possibilities for you, your career, and your business. And if you need someone to help you out, contact me at any time I would be happy to get you started, one baby step at a time.
