Business Support Committee - Carl Fredericks - Chairman
This Committee stands ready to help market and promote your business whether it is a ribbon-cutting, grand-opening or other special event. The Business Support Committee also looks for innovative and new ways to provide assistance that is relative and timely in our unique post Katrina business environment.
Membership Development & Retention - Dawn Sharp and Alan Hodges - Co-Chairs
Recruiting new members and retaining existing members is our highest priority in 2006. This committee is involved with communications, internal services assessment analysis and the creation of member marketing satisfaction strategies that will help the chamber respond to the specific needs of our membership.
Business Advisory Committee - Tammy Mitchell and RJ Attaway - Co Chairs
This Committee is dedicated to helping members stay up to date with current issues and solutions by providing seminars, workshops, individual consulting and other venues for useful information. A key project this year will be a membership survey to identify and prioritize member’s needs and create the programs that will respond to those topics.
Business Recovery Committee - Kevin Pearson
This is a new committee, charged with helping to co-ordinate activities of the many organizations with a desire to help Slidell area businesses recover from Katrina. Creating communications & logistic processes are a priority for this committee. This committee will develop tracking and monitoring capabilities to facilitate applications of resources as well as work directly with the many chambers and other organizations that are reaching out to Slidell businesses with help.
Public Policy - Carlos Yingst
The committee is focused on the local parish and statewide governmental issues. It shall productively work with members and our other chamber offices to identify issues that affect all of our business interests which may be affected by governmental action or inaction. It will also work to build coalitions with others who share the issues with the mission of communicating with chamber’s positions on such issues to support our member’s interests. |
