Time Flies When You're Working Hard
By: Melissa Horton, Executive Director AACC
Time flies when you’re working hard, and we’ve been working hard!
The Chamber has added 27 new members since last fall and there is no
slow down in sight. Businesses are seeing results from our extensive
marketing campaigns and gaining impactful information with our
Business 101 classes and networking opportunities. We are connecting
people for greater collaboration and community partnerships. We are
doing our job!
We are practicing what we preach - focusing on our niche and using
our skills for the betterment and success of our Members. One of the
enhanced benefits of Membership is the weekly tips provided by our
Events & Marketing Coordinator in the Breakroom Buzz. If you haven’t
been engaging with that content, you are missing out on timely,
relevant information that can elevate your business marketing.
I am honored to represent our business community on the Small
Business Resources Board within the Greater Des Moines Partnership.
The Business Resources Board is a group representing The
Partnership’s Investor companies and organizations including
executive-level business development experts, small business
champions and supplier development leaders aligning with The
Partnership’s areas of work, key industries and regional partners and
dedicated to supporting the region’s business ecosystem. I look
forward to sharing what I know about our small business community
and bringing back information and resources that will drive success for
all in this new year.
There is no greater time than the present to be engaged with the
Altoona Area Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to serving you!
Business 2.0 - Better Connections, Impactful Resources, Greater
Success!!
