Marlborough Area Newcomers and Neighbors Club (MANN) is happy to announce that we are now a member of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber serves both the residential and business communities of the Greater Marlborough Area. There should be many benefits to belonging to this community organization. Here are just a few of the opportunities the Chamber will offer MANN:

  • MANN will be listed in the Chamber’s 2005 Good Business Guide. The guide offers much information about The Greater Marlborough Area’s organizations, activities and phone numbers.
  • MANN will be listed on the Chamber’s website, with a direct link to MANN’s homepage. The Chamber claims over 50,000 website hits per month.
  • A MANN flyer will be inserted into all Chamber information packets handed out.
  • MANN events and announcements will be listed for free in the Chamber’s monthly newsletter
  • If we wish, we can use the Ch 8 cable access studio to create a 30 minute program about MANN. The Chamber would then show our program on their cable show, which airs 20 times per month.
  • Networking Opportunities. The Chamber hosts these on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis, depending on the theme. Examples include ” Business After Hours”, “Networking Before Nine”, “Distinguished Speaker Luncheon”, “Women’s Business Council Luncheon”, “Annual 495 Business Expo”, and “How To…” workshops. Some of these events do cost money and need RSVPs, but the Chamber has supplied us with a few complimentary passes to get us started.

Any networking opportunities the Chamber sends to me, I will forward to MANN members via email. Any MANN member may go and represent our group. This is a great opportunity for a member to get out into the community and make some connections.

There is lots more membership info that this. If you want to find out more, visit www.marlboroughchamber.org.
