    MAY 2019 ARE YOU GETTING OUR EMAILS?!? RECENT SERVER CHANGE COULD REQUIRE ACTION We’ve heard from a number of our members that they have not been receiving our weekly upcoming events emails (which are sent on Tuesdays) or our Chamber Exchange member to member emails (which are sent on Thursdays). Some actually asked if we had stopped offering networking events! That is not the case! As the pages of this newsletter will show, we are just as active as we have been and are still offering a plethora of opportunities for your business. If you are not receiving emails from us but always had, the problem could be that we recently changed our email servers. First, make sure to check your Spam folder. If it’s not there, have your IT department check to ensure our domain of nwchamberofcommerce.org is Whitelisted. If this has been done and you are still not receiving our emails, please give us a call to let us know and we’ll have our IT check things on our side. If you’ve never received our emails, but would like to, simply email [email protected] and we’ll get you added to the distribution list immediately. Finally, please note, we do not share the email distribution list. LEADS GROUPS CONTINUE TO GROW In less than a year, the Chamber has successfully launched two Leads Groups. Due to popular demand, a third group will begin meeting this month! The purpose is for members of each group to form alliances with one another to identify prospects and foster increased business; ultimately growing their customer base through a supportive network.
