Small Business Appreciation Week
Page Title
More than 900 Chamber partners are classified as a small business (100 employees or less). The Chamber's Small Business Appreciation Committee celebrates these partners during Small Business Appreciation Week in May with the following activities:
- Chamber Golf Challenge
- Women in Business Breakfast
- Small Business Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Small Business Person of the Year
Be sure to check out the Chamber's Small Business Programs booklet, which outlines the many ways that small businesses can maximize their exposure with the Chamber. The booklet can be viewed online as well.
For more information, contact Program Director Lindsey Moyers.
Chamber Golf Challenge
The Chamber Golf Challenge is a partnership-wide golf tournament held in April. The Small Business Appreciation Committee coordinates the Chamber Golf Challenge in celebration of Small Business Appreciation Week.
The Chamber Golf Challenge gives Chamber partners a chance to network with one another while enjoying a day of golf. More than 130 Chamber partners come out to play golf and support the Chamber.
The Small Business Appreciation Committee works very hard to find sponsorships for holes, goodie bags, food and drinks, so that once you come to play you are catered for the day.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. Please contact Program Director Lindsey Moyers for more information.
