March 2022 President & CEO's Report

The Pierre Area Chamber is extremely lucky to have fantastic members! 

Speaking of luck, do you ever notice how some people just seem to be luckier than others? Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” The last couple of years have presented much difficulty and the Chamber staff strives to give our members ample opportunity to set themselves and their businesses up for success. The more you get involved, promote your business, partner with others, and focus on good customer service, the better chance you will have of success. Growing your network is likely the most valuable thing you can do to consistently get yourself in front of opportunity.  

Here are a few ways that the Chamber can extend the proverbial four-leaf clover:

• Keep informed about area events and networking opportunities by signing up for the Chamber’s “What’s Happening” that is sent every Monday straight to your inbox.
• Sign up for our one-day leadership event, Leadercast, on May 17th. We will broadcasting a diverse lineup of speakers on the topic of The One Thing, focusing on the one attribute that makes a leader worth following. The event is held at the Ramkota from 9:00am – 4:00pm. Seats are limited and available to Chamber members for $65 and to non-members for $80.
• Promote your business at Chamber events, we have many sponsorship opportunities and with our unique membership structure there is a lot of value packed within our investment tiers. Wondering what opportunities are available to you? Contact a staff member and we would be happy to chat with you!
• Join the Capital Area Networking (CAN) group and meet others who are interested in helping share your story with potential customers and clients.
