Summer’s Almost Over

Whether you have been on vacation, spending extra time with your family, or steadily working, your Chamber has been going strong planning for the 3rd and 4th quarters of the year. We just finalized the Leadership Rankin roster for the start of the year. We have another talented group of future leaders of our County waiting to find out what more they can do to help us grow.

Our Youth Leadership Program will get underway in September. To keep from being so rushed at the beginning of the school year, we interviewed and selected this year’s class in May. I always encourage folks to watch our Youth Leadership classes. These groups of individuals will be the future leaders of our County and we are excited to be a part of their growth.

Plans are underway as well for the 2nd annual Glow Run. If you would like to be a part of the planning for this event, we have created an ad-hoc committee for this event. Please contact Mandi Arinder at the Chamber office to get plugged in to see how you can help.

NETWORKING WORKS!The Rankin Chamber offers a variety of networking events throughout the year that provide members the opportunity to build relationships and stay connected with others in the local business community.

No matter the size or nature of your business; networking plays a significant role in keeping your company visible in a relationship-based business climate. And remember, since Rankin Chamber membership extends to your entire organization, all of your employees are encouraged and invited to participate in any of our events!

We also encourage you to bring business cards to pass out and to collect.

The Chamber thrives off of the contributions of our members. The dues that each of you pay is key to the day-to-day running of our offices. However, the volunteer hours that you and your employees offer to us are also instrumental in making our Chamber function properly. Each month this section features Chamber volunteers who have demonstrated extra effort for the month. It is our hope that we will see each of you in this column soon.

Congratulations to TempStaff Inc. for being named Member of the Month. Thank you for providing outstanding support and participation to the Rankin County Chamber and the community!
