Hello from the Chamber!



 

Important Dates












If you are in the HR world we would like to invite you to the first HR Roundtable meeting of 2025. We are excited to offer these meetings again this year and hope that you will find the topics interesting and meaningful for you and your company.
 
To start us off we will have representatives from the Washington Co. Mental Health Task Force join us. This group has been meeting and working for months and I think you will be excited to hear about the resources and efforts they will discuss with you.

February Power Hour: Chamber Plans 2025 
The first Power Hour of 2025 is in the books. Such a good morning meeting with members and discussing chamber benefits. We talked about our plans for 2025 and how business can plug in!!








The Chamber hosted the East Central Work Based Learning Coordinator quarterly meeting this month. We were excited to have over forty folks and twenty eight counties in the building!
The Chamber was able to chat with them about our local educational partnerships and initiatives and was also able to take attendees on a tour of Clean Spark. We appreciate the work these individuals do connecting high school students and the business community.

Did you know we have two work based learning students employed at the Chamber ðŸ˜ƒ

Business members, if you need a meeting location give us a call. This is a benefit of your membership and we will be glad to host you!
