Chamber Plans Membership Month, Drive in April The Chamber’s membership drive is an important concentrated effort to secure new members and strengthen the Chamber’s voice. It is integral to our success - and yours.
Ambassadors will be divided into teams, with one ambassador team captain to lead. Incentives will be rewarded along the way. Volunteers are encouraged to participate.
We are asking members, like you, to become involved. Because of your involvement in the Hanover community, we ask that you take an active part in the drive. During the month of April, Chamber members will be encouraged to invite non-members to the April Eye-Opener Breakfast (at a member rate of $12) and mixer (always complimentary).
Additionally, the Chamber Board of Directors will work to secure prospects in the Hanover area with a targeted list developed by Chamber staff. This list will be updated and reviewed at Board meetings.
The Chamber Ambassador Committee will work to secure new Chamber members through a targeted membership drive in April.
If you would like to become more involved during Membership Month, whether through the Membership Drive or another activity, please contact Erinn Bell at 717-637-6130 ext 104 or ebell@hanoverchamber.com.
Leadership Hanover Strengthens Skill Sets of Local Professionals by Michaela Shaffer, Chamber Intern
In today’s highly competitive business environment, programs such as Leadership Hanover give local professionals an opportunity to discover their strengths and increase their capabilities. The six-month program brings together a small group of local professionals monthly to discuss tools and opportunities needed to expand their leadership skills. Topics of discussion include community, education, economic development, health and wellness and government. Additionally, participants have the opportunity to network with key business men and women in the Hanover community and form strong relationships with the other participants in the program. Kelly Rebert, Business Development Manager at CORE Design Group, LLC is a current member of the 2016/17 Leadership Hanover class.
“The opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions and learn about topics that impact our community has been particularly interesting. I’ve really enjoyed connecting with other professionals in Kelly Rebert, the program as CORE Design Group well as the respected community leaders who represent our area businesses and organizations,” said Rebert. continued on page 8
