The Top 10 Things to Look for When Building Your Website

The Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce held another Chamber LUNCH and LEARN™; The Top 10 Things to Look for When Building Your Website. View the Presentation (PDF)
We all have to start creating a website presence, to survive in business these days. Many people don’t even own the yellow pages, so if you aren’t on line- then you don’t exist! During this lunch and learn workshop, you will find out how to build a website the right way, and if you already have a website- you will find out simple ways to improve it. Jo James from Isothermal Community College will be leading this FREE educational seminar.


Chamber’s Business After Hours is a valuable membership benefit

Chamber membership includes a bundle of benefits designed to put more jingle in your cash register. Business After Hours is just one of these little gems. Members get together once each month at a host member’s business to socialize, share ideas, opinions and information and cultivate business prospects. There’s no charge for these valuable monthly business opportunities. Call the Chamber for a guest pass to our next Business After Hours if you’re not a member. While you’re looking us over, go to the Calendar of Events and see what we have on tap for our next big Chamber event.
