From the Desk of Annmarie Siwik

As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. And, as most of you know, I always try to enjoy what I do. When I took the position as your Chair of the Board, an eighteen month term seemed like a long time. Its incredible how quickly the time has gone and amazing what we have been able to accomplish together. These past months have provided me with an opportunity to form friendships with the outstanding professionals that make up your Board. It has been my pleasure to serve you.

Your Chamber Board of Directors had to step up and work harder than any time in the Chamber’s history. To say we had a true “working Board” is an understatement. There were many meetings, early morning votes and difficult decisions during a time of economic downturn and change. The list of accomplishments is long but very impressive and positive. The decisions the Board has made, have set the stage for the Chamber to bring new and exciting programs that will increase the value membership has to your business.

Business Advisory Committee

Speaker: Don Gingold

Long time Chamber Member Don Gingold, of Gnu Ventures Company, will tell us about tracking our website traffic using terms that we mere mortals can understand - no tech speak, just business sense! He'll demonstrate a free service of measuring website visits and show how to increase your business.

When a comedian doesn’t hear the audience laughing, he taps on the microphone. Before panicking about the quality of his jokes, he makes sure the audience can actually hear them. Most business owners get less feedback than a comedian from their websites. They worry that it’s a wasted investment and are leery to continue their Internet marketing. Find out how to get that feedback at the presentation of “Hello? Hello? Is This Website On?” at the next meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) on Thursday, November 19 at 11:30 AM in the NACC Conference Room A.

Thursday, November 19
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce
55 S. Main St. Suite 375
