On January 24, a Speed Networking event with be held from 4 to 5 pm at Stafford’s Perry Hotel. This is a great chance to do some quick networking and hone your “elevator speech”.
On January 25, area Chambers of Commerce are teaming together to provide a Customer Service Boot Camp at the Birchwood Inn in Harbor Springs from 9 am to Noon. This is a great refresher course for your current staff, or a way to instill a healthy customer service philosophy within new staff members.

Beginning on February 1, the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with John Kempton of Achieve360.com for an exciting 8-week session of John Maxwell’s Mastermind Workshop. Spaces for the 7:30 to 8:30 am session are already filled, but please still contact us if you are interested in attending this program as an additional time is in the process of being finalized.
If you are still new to the PRCC, or are looking at getting more involved in our programming, we encourage you to attend one of our Make the Most of Your Membership (MMYM) sessions. We cover our events, benefits, products, and services and show you how you can make the most of these opportunities. The next MMYM session will be held on February 14 from 7:30 to 9 am, location to be determined.
