While most Chambers of Commerce Struggle through their annual membership drive, the Victoria Chamber of Commerce will host a “Membership Event” that is like none other.  For two and a half days, over 100 volunteers will work against the clock and against each other to sign up new chamber members.  The event is organized by a group called Your Chamber Connection whose specialty is high energy membership campaigns that allow volunteers to conduct “out of the box” membership fun while building the membership base for the Chamber.

“It’s about business,” says Event guru, Jimmy Cusano.  “The Chamber of Commerce is the business community.  This brings everyone together to build our Chamber.  It’s a membership-based organization and most people don’t like ‘membership drives'.  With a Membership Event they come together in a competitive fun setting and tell the Chamber story.  When others hear about everything the chamber does, all of a sudden you have a great deal of enthusiasm for the Chamber, and a great deal of support.”

The Victoria Chamber of Commerce Membership Event will kick off on August 21^st and conclude August 23^rd at the Holiday Inn.  Don’t be surprised if you see high profile business executives clad in odd clothing, driving extremely unusual vehicles and ringing cowbells.  For more information on how you can be involved, call the Victoria Chamber of Commerce at (361) 573-5277.
