Board Meeting Tomorrow

I was thinking of what to write this Wednesday and realized I have a board meeting tomorrow for the South Council of the Chamber of Commerce and don’t talk much about it.  The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce is divided into geographic councils.  They are like mini-Chambers.  There is the North Council, South Council, West Council, Downtown…etc.  When Kennetic Productions first moved to Jacksonville, joining the Chamber and beginning regular attendance at the South Council was one of the first things we did.  Boy has it payed off!  Not only have I obtained many contracts from both members and member relationships, but I’ve also met a bunch of great friends.   A Chamber Council is by far the most effective grass roots advertising to be done in Jacksonville.  The cost is nominal and the benefits are unlimited.  Tips:  regular attendence and involvement.  I probably have about a 95% attendance rate and have been on the board for 3 years now.  I’ve served as Treasurer, Program Officer, Marketing Co-Chair and Secretary.  This level of involvement garners me exposure and I also become sought out by new members for advice.  So…join the Chamber!!!  It is worth it!
