well known and respected advisor in the Chamber of Commerce
Industry. Mr. Woods will present one of his most popular
programs, “Why Chambers Matter…If Not for the Chamber,”
that will inspire both Chamber and prospective members. Combined with
wit and humor, Mr. Woods will discuss the importance of a “21”
Century Chamber and how vital a Chamber is to the quality of life and
economic well-being in a community. His presentation will also
highlight ways in which businesses can partner with the Chamber and
become more involved in effective sponsorship, ambassador and
governmental relations programs, communications, team building and
more.

Is it to late to attend? This looks interesting. Registration was by 9/24, does this posting mean that there is still open space to attend?
Chambers and members can form their communities at nualerts and stay connected with multiple channels (sms, email, etc). A lot of Bay Area Chambers are already using nualerts to offer members incredible marketing exposure. Check out our Chambers http://alturl.com/xve8a
