“We Make It Our Business To Know
Ingleside’s Businesses”
I would like to extend a personal
invitation for you to become a member of the Ingleside Chamber
of Commerce. Exciting things are happening, and your business
can certainly benefit in a variety of ways. You have no doubt
seen a considerable amount of press on the Chamber of late, as
we continue to add programs and initiatives to our business
benefits. We have recently announced the formation of the
Ingleside Economic Development Council, an 18 member panel
consisting of members that represent most sectors of area
business. This Council will be working hard for your business
as we move into the transitioning of Naval Station Ingleside.
Though the closure date is 2010, the economic impact will be
felt long before as the ships are relocated to their new
destination. We can help your business stay on top of the
events BEFORE they occur and help you adjust proactively.
We represent your business as a
Legislative Advocate, attending various meetings at the city
and state levels. We offer expert speakers on a variety of
topics at our Chamber Monthly Luncheons, in an
environment where you can network and meet new people in the
area. In the Fall, we will be rolling out our “Business
Booster Breakfast Series”, which will feature local and area
marketing experts on how to make your business stand out in the
marketplace. Our After Hours Mixers are a fun time to
unwind and socialize with associates and prospective clients
alike. Additionally, we conduct several large scale special
events each year that bring tourists to our area, and our
new advertising campaign “Affordable Ingleside”, not only
encourage tourists to stay, play and dine in our area, but also
encourage city dwellers to consider Ingleside as their permanent
home.
Your membership in the
Ingleside Chamber of Commerce is not a contribution or a
donation,
it’s an investment in your business and your community.
We would LOVE to have you in our Chamber
“family” and would be very proud to list your business among our
impressive ranks. It would be our honor to represent you and
your business through what are certainly some very challenging
times for Ingleside. Call, and I’ll stop by to visit and answer
any additional questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Sandi Ridgley
Executive Director
Ingleside Chamber of Commerce
