Chamber Connection- March 12

 

I wanted to let you know about our upcoming Lunch & Learn on Friday, March 27 at Clarion Pointe in Sulphur Springs. The cost is $15 for Chamber members and $20 for non-Chamber members. The cost includes lunch and an educational session presented by Bethany Ferrall, Assistant Director, Career Development Center at Texas A&M Commerce. This session will focus on increasing the effectiveness of your hiring process, how to do salary research to offer competitive salaries to employees, and developing a job description that entices and retains quality applicants. We would love for you to attend! Please RSVP by calling the Chamber at (903) 885-6515 or by emailing lezley@hopkinschamber.org.

The Chamber is offering something brand new for the business community of Hopkins County. We are currently accepting individuals to participate in the Chamber Book Club: A Leadership Journey. This book club will focus on six different business-influenced books to provide an intentional path for leadership growth. Topics studied will include what to look for in establishing a team, performance habits, leadership styles, and how to have crucial conversations with your team. There will be no cost except for the price of the books, and the capacity for the club is 20. If you have even a tiny bit of interest, call the Chamber at (903) 885-6515! We can tell you all about it, and we would love to welcome you on this leadership journey! 

Guess what time of the year it is? Oh yes! It’s the Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament time! Letters have gone in the mail for the 31st Annual Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament. Save the Date for Friday, April 10 at Sulphur Springs Country Club, and let us know right away if you would like to have a team. It’s a wonderful tournament to be shared with friends and family!
