Information on the upcoming AGM and a profile of VP Margie McGuire
By Greater Woodstock Chamber of Commerce members
Happening Now
Well, it’s that time of year when we have been planning our AGM. I know that makes you want to skip reading the rest of this. An AGM is boring!
We hope to change that boring stereotype and that you’ll join us this year. Of course, we have some business to take care of, but we will keep that quick.
Are you new to town and want an opportunity to meet other business professionals? Would you like to promote your new or existing business? Have you lived in town forever and have no idea what the chamber does? Would you like to provide group health benefits to your employees or your family?
There are many reasons to join the chamber. One reason many members cite is having access to a comprehensive health plan. I will highlight quickly that even if you are a ‘one-person show,’ you can become a member and get member health benefits. You get the savings of being part of a group health plan even if you are a solo entrepreneur. Spread the word!
Want more details? Chamberlain Wealth Management will present at the AGM and help us all understand the benefits of a Chamber group health plan. They also bring refreshments, so you are welcome to come just for the snacks!
Join us for our AGM. We are open to members who are curious-minded.
March 26, 6 pm at NBCC
- light refreshments
- Network and meet other businesses
- Tour NBCC and hear about member benefits
You do not have to be a member to attend. Come for information, snacks, or to meet board members.
Chamber Highlights
We have some introductions for 2025! A big welcome to our new board members – Karen Lawrence of Soul Healing Space, Melody Dickinson of Woodstock Sanctuary House and our new Executive Director Josh Laverty of FPS Media. PSSst, we still have room for you to join the board. Our new recruits jumped in for the February meeting, and some exciting things are on the horizon.
