From Parsons Area Chamber of Commerce
While most Chambers of Commerce struggle through their annual membership drive, the Parsons Area Chamber of Commerce 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 of Commerce. 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 event guru, Jimmy Cusano. “The Chamber of Commerce 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.’ With a membership event, they come together in a competitive, fun setting and tell 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.”

The Parsons Area Chamber Membership Event will kick off on Tuesday, March 3 at the Carnegie Arts Center and conclude on Thursday, March 5, with a celebration at Cardinal Event Center. For more information on how you can be involved, call the Parsons Area Chamber of Commerce at 620-421-6500.
