Dear WDM Chamber Member:
This Friday, the Chamber will have its first Membership Tune-Up of the  year. Sooo . . .What is a Membership Tune-Up and why do you want to attend? I think most of you would like to know what your Chamber dues investment goes towards and what you get in return for that investment. At the Tune-Up, staff members along with Chamber Ambassadors spend an hour educating you on the various programs and functions of the Chamber. It's fast-paced, fun and free. You will learn about networking opportunities, inexpensive marketing options, available sponsorships, member resources and much more. Not to mention, there is a free light lunch. RSVP NOW!
 This Thursday's Business After Hours event will be held at AAA Travel in Clive from 5-7 PM. Come check out AAA's great facility and mingle with your fellow Chamber members.
Don't forget to sign up for Business Boot Camp. This new program offers high skill training for very low prices at six different times throughout the  year. You can purchase each session individual or get a discount by investing in the complete package. Purchases session are interchangable amongst your employees so make sure you take some time to learn more about this great new program by clicking here.
Phew, can't believe it's already the last week of February. I hope you all experience a profitable work week.
