Apr 23    Non-profit Member Roundtable
The CW Chamber wants to improve its value to existing members by hosting a roundtable for non-profit members where members could address common issues, explore partnerships, and work together to further each other’s missions.
 
We have scheduled Thursday morning, April 23, 2015, 8:30-9:30 at the Chamber office, located at 5 South High Street, Canal Winchester, to host the Non-Profit Roundtable (with bagels and coffee) to kick off this initiative.
 
Some possible agenda items and thoughts –
  • What are the common issues and brainstorm solutions?
    • What resources are needed and how do you get them?
    • How can you help each other?
    • How can the Chamber help your organization?
      • Exploring partnerships inside and outside the Chamber
      • Marketing – making use of Chamber tools/benefits to further your mission
      • HHS Day of Service – May 16
        • Is there something we can/should do to partner with HHS to showcase our members?
      • Farmers Market booth
        • Would you want to take turns showcasing your organization at the farmers market if the Chamber supplied the space?
        • The farmers market has restrictions on who can display (nothing religious) and sold for fundraisers (need pre-approval)
      • Education/training – is any needed or wanted, and if so, what?
  • Others ideas or topics?
Please RSVP to Kevin Douglas (chamber@canalwinchester.com) for this meeting so that we can plan appropriately.  We want to use the resources we have to make your chamber membership valuable – so we need your feedback.  If you have feedback on this idea, please let me know!
