Summer 2017

Dear Members and Friends,

We’re heading into a new year with exciting announcements and opportunities:

• After working with our members on a new strategic vision and plan, we are changing our name and expanding our focus. Moving forward, we will be the Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce, an acknowledgement of the significant growth we’re experiencing in membership from throughout the region.
• We’re creating more ways than ever for you to promote your business, with expanded sponsorship and advertising opportunities at a diverse mix of regional events with new partners, venues, and programs.
• We’re working to address legislative issues that impact business. This past year we held our first legislative reception and formed an advocacy advisory panel to shape an advocacy agenda.
• We’re keeping the benefits of Standard Membership that you love, from First Fridays to the Small Business Awards to our reshaped Health Expo to Guardian vision and dental insurance to our Community Awards to web, social media, and email promotion. And, while membership is not required, know that you can continue to turn to us for your medical insurance needs as well.
• We’re testing and refining new programs such as our Competitive Edge training series and our recent Business Success Stories panel discussions on family businesses.
• We’re also lining up broadcast partnerships that will offer our membership additional, affordable visibility through program content and sponsorship opportunities.
• And, in response to your requests, we are now offering Premium Membership Packages that allow you to select, well in advance, where you want visibility throughout the year at the level that best suits your budget and needs. These packages are a great value, costing much less than the price of the same individual benefits purchased à la carte.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 585.227.7272 if you would like more information or have questions or feedback or ideas you'd like to share.

We look forward to working with all of you as we shape exciting new ways to move business forward.

With best wishes,

Sarah
