On behalf of the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, we would like to invite all Chamber Members to attend the 2010 HSCC Planning Conference.  The two-day program is scheduled for September 16 and 17, 2010.  Unfortunately, they are sold out of hotel rooms at River Landing.  You may still attend the conference but would have to make your own hotel accommodations if interested. 

By attending the Planning Conference, you will gain a better understanding of the HSCC goals and objectives for 2011 as well as have input into the 2011 Strategic Business Plan. During the conference, we will set goals and objectives for the five divisions of the chamber:  Business Service, Education, Government Relations, Membership Development & Member Service.

The conference has a full schedule of business leaders speaking on strategic planning, business development, collaborative partnerships, and the Chambers' role in education, health care and transportation.

Take advantage of this opportunity to transform the HSCC towards being the Voice of the Business Community.  You will also enjoy lively conversation with local and state business leaders, elected officials, and help formulate the 2011 Business Plan for the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce.
