Dear Chamber Members...

If you tried to contact the Chamber office yesterday and were unable to get through, we apologize. Our phones and network were down for a major portion of the day.  

Be sure to check out all of the upcoming events listed on this page.  Professional Development on Thursday, Membership Luncheon with Nazie Eftekhari on the 13th, as well as MarketFest,  the Manitou Days Parade and the World's Longest Ice Cream Sundae Attempt.

Many volunteers are needed for both the Manitou Days Parade on the 14th  and the Longest Ice Cream Sundae on the 20th.  If you wish to donate some of your time, it would be greatly appreciated at one or both of these events.  Just contact Maureen at our office; 651.429.8593 or maureen@whitebearchamber.com to get more information or register to volunteer.

Make it a great week!

Special Chamber Membership Luncheon

  Nazie Eftekhari, CEO and Founder of the Araz Group
Thursday, June 13
11:30 am Registration
12:00 - 1:00 Lunch & Program
Manitou Station, WBL

 
Ms. Eftekhari is an innovator devoted to serving people and advocating for their rights.

She is the founder of the Araz Group and the CEO and principal architect of HealthEZ, a Minneapolis- based company providing services designed to simplify health plan administration for employers and to eliminate the complexities in the health care billing and payment process. The beneficiaries of HealthEZ's services include consumers and their employers, health care providers, insurers and third-party administrators.

Prior to founding HealthEZ in 1997, Ms. Eftekhari earned national recognition in 1982 for designing the nation's first Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). The term PPO was coined to describe her innovation, which brings together doctors, hospitals and other health providers to form a network in order to negotiate and provide services at attractive rates in return for the opportunity to serve the clients of an insurer or third-party administrator.

Registration starts at 11:30 - lunch & program from Noon - 1pm.  Cost is just $25 for Chamber members, $35 for non-members.
