The
Chamber's Trustee Program: Fast Track to the Top
Looking for a way to reach the
decision-makers of the most influential Chamber members? Consider a
Trustee membership for your company's top level executive. The
Trustee program provides an opportunity for executives to receive the
prestige of networking with their peers while achieving maximum
recognition.
When they join the program, Trustees are
introduced to the membership and the community with a feature article,
color photograph and biography in the Chamber newsletter, Business
Watch. They also appear in the Guide to the Palm Beaches in the
Trustee section - again, with company logo, a photo and biography
of the Trustee and in a special section of the Chamber's website. The deadline for inclusion in the
Guide to the Palm Beaches is April 30.
In
addition to all the recognition and highlighted opportunities, Trustees
have the benefit of exclusive networking and educational events
specifically targeted to Trustee members and their guests. These
include private events with local, state and national leaders, such as
the upcoming event with Craig Thomas, Vice-President and Senior
Economist with the PNC Financial Services Group.
For more
information on the program, its events and publication deadlines,
contact Kelly Fanelli, Membership Director,
at (561) 833-3711 ext 235.
