Letter from the President
Brenda Gailhouse
Hello Friends and Welcome to the GBBC:
Have you noticed all of the positive changes that have taken place this year with the GBBC? The Membership News page is jammed packed
We love to report exciting news about our members and I encourage you to let us know when something is happening with YOU or your company.
Did you happen to attend any of the events this year? Did you walk away with a “ WOW” I can’t believe it! I trust that you feel you walked away with more than you paid for.
Tony and I, along with the entire Board of Directors, are about delivering value. You get a lot for your membership.
Our driving force isn’t how much money we have in the bank or how many members we have on our roles. To other chambers of commerce these are indicators or benchmarks of success. Our core mission is delivering value, how many satisfied members we have is our ONLY indicator that WE pay any attention to.
There is more change coming. We have, over the past few years, made substantial changes in how we operate. Some front end, some behind the scenes. All of these changes have had a positive impact on the organization.
We are now in a place where we can make more changes that will directly affect you and the amount of business you can expect out of the GBBC.
We will have more of a Networking feel to our events that will more focused on business networking rather than a social gathering. The events will have elements to them that will bring YOU and YOUR BUSINESS to the forefront of the event.
You will see changes being phased in to our monthly lunch and breakfast groups to reflect the over all emphasis on Business to Business or Business to Consumer networking.
I strongly encourage as many of you as possible to upgrade your Membership to a BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP ( only $150.00 ) from the individual membership ( $75.00 ) as the BUSINESS MEMBERSHIPS will afford you a much greater opportunity to promote your business more cost effectively and you will have increased visibility in the months to come.
Remember, we can’t promote you if we don’t know you. When you are out and about, at our events or around town, and you see a GBBC Board of Director please come say hello. The GBBC: Connecting you to your customers, prospects and community
