Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce-
“Your Business is Our Business”
The Greater Lawrence County Area Chamber of Commerce is alive and well with a new vibrancy that is committed to you and your business. As the headline says, “Your Business is our Business.” If you represent a small business, it is critically important that you have the right tools to survive and thrive in the shaky business climate we find ourselves in.
To say we live in challenging economic times is an understatement. Just as relationships are vital in your personal lives, so are they, in the current business climate we all share. The Chamber of Commerce stands ready to assist as you build those relationships. Here are some of things we are doing right now to help guide you through what sometimes seem to be overwhelming circumstances.
* Each 4th Friday of most months through the year, the chamber sponsors a luncheon for education, networking and socializing. We stir in a little bit of fun for good measure. We alternate locations between, Ironton, South Point, Chesapeake, and Proctorville. Check the home page for the current schedule.
* Business After Hours gatherings are held on a quarterly basis. These sessions are again held with a primary focus of networking and communicating with those business people who have similar interests. These sessions focus a little more on social time and less on the education and the distribution of information. As with our 4th Friday Luncheons we will alternate locations throughout the county. Local businesses sponsor these events. It is a win/win situation for businesses that have the opportunity to showcase their distinctive qualities.
* The Chamber Connection, is becoming an increasingly popular way of disseminating information to all chamber members with e-mail addresses. Each Monday morning, the e-newsletter arrives with timely information including upcoming events, a roundup of chamber activities, news items of interest to small business, an opportunity for each chamber business to toot their own horns through recognition, and awards and it also serves as a vehicle to reveal and welcome new chamber of commerce members. Each chamber member is invited to contribute news items to the “Monday Morning Mix.” Items should be submitted by the previous Friday at noon. If you are not on the Chamber’s e-mail list , please submit your e-mail address to Shirley Dyer.
Committee Involvement
Another way of networking and forging relationships with other business leaders in our Tri-State Area is through your involvement on our Chamber committees.

As your local resource center for the latest in developments and legislation that could affect your business, the Chamber is always available to answer whatever questions you may have. We work closely with local, state, and federal legislators to help gain approval of legislation that is beneficial to your business, while opposing passage of restrictive or detrimental regulations.
