While most chambers of commerce struggle through their annual membership drive, The Newnan-Coweta Chamber will host a “Membership Event” that is like none other. For two and a half days, over 100 volunteers will work against the clock and against each other to sign up new Chamber members and create a greater community awareness of the important role of the Chamber. The event is organized by Jimmy Cusano and a group called Your Chamber Connection. Their specialty is high energy membership campaigns that allow volunteers to conduct “out of the box” membership fun while building the membership base.
“It’s about business,” says Chamber Chair Sharon Szymanski. “The Chamber is the business community. This brings everyone together to build our Chamber. It’s a membership-based organization and most people don’t like ‘membership drives.’”
Event guru, Jimmy Cusano said, “With a membership event everyone comes together in a competitive fun setting and tells the Chamber story. When others hear about everything the Chamber does, all of a sudden you have a great deal of enthusiasm for the Chamber, and a great deal of support.”
Leading the event are eight community and business VIPs. These eight VIPs include: Judy Alvey, Comcast Spotlight; Kirby Arnall, Matrix Insurance; Matt Brass, Office of Congressman Lynn Westmoreland; Danny Beck, Beck Janitorial; Bradley Down, Cargill;Joe Crain, Crain Oil; John Hall, Bank of North Georgia; Dennis McEntire, Newnan Utilities. Phil Trickey with Yamaha Motor Manufacturing will lead a special team of Runners.
The Newnan-Coweta Chamber Membership Event kicks off July 29 and concludes July 31. For more information on how you can be involved, email the Chamber atinfo@newnancowetachamber.org or call at 770-253-2270.
