BizBlog

Members are encouraged to submit articles for posting to our new Blog. There are so many of you in the Chamber who have expert knowledge on subjects that other members need or find interesting. A blog gives valuable information that is not a commercial sales pitch, but gives the writer and company the status of being a competent, expert source.

It brings you business!

The guidelines are:

• posts up to 750 words

• a byline to include the author’s photo, company name and what your company does
• a hero photo that is royalty free
• have someone in your office to edit for facts and typos (we will edit as well)
