I wanted to let you know about our upcoming Lunch & Learn Friday, March 27 at Clarion Pointe in Sulphur Springs. Cost is $15 for Chamber members and $20 for non-Chamber members. Cost includes lunch and an educational session presented by Bethany Ferrall, assistant director of Career Development Center at Texas A&M University-Commerce. This session will focus on increasing the effectiveness of your hiring process, how to do salary research to offer competitive salaries to employees, and developing a job description that entices and retains quality applicants. We would love for you to attend! Please RSVP by calling the Chamber at 903-885-6515 or by emailing lezley@hopkinschamber.org.
The Chamber is offering something brand new for the business community of Hopkins County. We are currently accepting individuals to participate in the Chamber Book Club: A Leadership Journey. This book club will focus on six different business-influenced books to provide an intentional path for leadership growth. Topics studied will include what to look for in establishing a team, performance habits, leadership styles and how to have crucial conversations with your team. There will be no cost except for price of the books, and the capacity for the club is 20. If you have even a tiny bit of interest, call the Chamber at 903-885-6515! We can tell you all about it, and we would love to welcome you on this leadership journey!
