 Weeks' Itinerary
2010 Edition: April 12, 2010 |
|
Dear SPRING WDM Chamber Member:
The Weeks' Itinerary is back once again and I am pleased to report that the West Des Moines Chamber continues to work on bringing value to its members.
This week, we have our second Business Boot Camp session entitled "The Power of Language". I don't know about you, but I can always use some tips on my professional communication skills as evidenced by this current paragraph. HA! The presentation will be given by The Meyvn Group, one of West Des Moines' finest professional training firms. And the sessions are graciously hosted by DeWaay Capital Management. You can attend this great hour and a half long session for only $40. To sign up, click here.
It's still a few weeks away, but I wanted to quick make mention of the upcoming Regional Affiliate Luncheon brought to you by the WDM Chamber on Thursday, May 13th at the Hy-Vee Conference Center. We have invited all of the area chambers and hope to have 300+ folks in attendance at this great networking event featuring a live business improv program by Brave New Workshop out of Minneapolis. To learn more, click here OR to get on the ball and register, click here.
Have a nice week.
