Tri Town Chamber of Commerce President John Bates gives an update.
Thanks to all the businesses, volunteers and attendees who helped to make Tri Town Chamber’s Home and Garden Show 2012 a success. Despite glorious weather and one less hour of sleep for booth owners, the whole event went even better than did the previous two H & G shows. For those who missed it, video “interviews” with booth owners will soon be available for free on the web. Great job Kris Jepsen and Pics2Pix! Last year we formed a marketing committee to find ways to help chamber members derive maximum benefit from participating in events. Our focus then was on premarketing the show and highlighting exhibitors via press releases and social media outlets. This year we have added the video element to help these businesses sustain visibility …

There is a lot planned for the upcoming month and 2012 as a whole.
We at the Tri Town Chamber are very excited about our new executive team and our plans for 2012. I am energized to start my second year as president in an increasingly robust local economy. One of my personal missions this year is to better educate local businesses on exactly what the Chamber is and does. So my next few articles will focus a little bit on what the Chamber is about while continuing to share what’s new. Tri Town has two stellar full-time employees. Executive Director Kara Griffin handles everything having to do with day-to-day operations. This includes managing membership programs, community relations, staying abreast of development that affects our local economies, and organizing events. She is also landlord for our three …
