The answer, A lot. When businesses invest in the Chamber they are supporting the very things that make a community grow. There are many benefits to becoming a chamber member, many of which are automatic when you join. Our goal is to support our business community and help to grow business. That being said, many times what you need from the chamber may not be on our benefits list. That doesn’t mean we still can’t help.
Last week we held a focus group for the Siouxland Community Christian School in Sioux City. We gathered some individuals who they considered their target market and brainstormed ideas over lunch. This gave the school some useful feedback and brought a new perspective into the mix. Here is what Siouxland Christian School Board Member, Terry Krei had to say.
“Thanks again for taking time in your busy schedule to visit with us last week. Not only do we appreciate your time, but that of the motivated and helpful advisors you assembled! You all had some great feedback and observations for us. We will continue to discuss the ways we can better leverage our unique posit
ion in Siouxland with some of the specific suggestions you shared with us.
Would you please pass on our sincere appreciation to the members you brought with you who also shared their time and energy.
There is no doubt that they are all committed with you to build a greater Siouxland. And to the extent that our school joins in that effort, we valued your participation with us last week.”
We were glad to help the Siouxland Christian Community School as a part of our mission to grow Siouxland. Make sure to keep the Siouxland Chamber in mind when your building your business, or when you just need some new ideas–we are always just a phone call or email away :-)
