LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
S pring is officially upon us, and the valley is blossoming in more ways than one. From the wildflowers sprinkled along the Table Rocks to new businesses blooming through membership, the excitement of the season is palpable. We have a plethora of ways to get involved, as well as exciting opportunities for you to take advantage of! March 14 was “Pi Day” (being 3.14), and we launched terrific, limited-time deals for both new and existing members. For just $314, new members could gain access to a one-year membership, including full circle benefits. Current members can take advantage of an advertisement in the Business Review for just $314. Be sure to seize these opportunities before they expire March 31! Limited grants are now available for small businesses in response to COVID-19 and the economic impacts businesses faced in its wake.This is an excellent opportunity for eligible businesses in Jackson and Josephine counties to apply for financial support. In partnership with the Oregon Legislature and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, applications are open now through April 26, 2023. A phrase we like to say here at The Chamber is, “Your network is your net worth”. The best way to expand that is our Young Professionals Network (YPN)! Our next YPN is Thursday, April 13 from 4:45 - 7:00 p.m. at The Event Agency. Your $15 ticket will include endless opportunities for connection, a drink and light food. We can’t wait to see you there! Richard Holbo from Hunter Communications and Alfonso Powers from Asante unveiled the vulnerability of information throughout our devices, and provided insight on how to protect both personal and professional data at our Forum this March. Looking to learn and connect? Our next Forum is April 10, featuring Providence at the Rogue Valley Country Club! Be sure to purchase your tickets on our website.
Yours in success,
Emily Hunter Editor in Chief/Vice President of Communications & Programs The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County
