              Member Services Auction

              The Member Services Auction is designed to be a win-win-win event.  Businesses get to try new services at reduced prices while the donating companies get access to new customers.  We get donations from a wide range of local and regional media and promotional companies for various advertising opportunities ranging from billboard, newspaper, radio, websites, graphic design, business cards…anything you might use to promote your businesses. IN ADDITION, you will find packages from businesses that offer other services you need to run your business, as well as great offers for employee and/or client recognition (golf, anyone?).  Packages will be auctioned off with starting bids beginning at 10% of their value. 

               

              Local Job and Internship Fair

              A job fair for area college and technical school students.  In an effort to let area post secondary students know what job opportunities are in the Meadville-Western Crawford County area, we give our Chamber members the opportunity to showcase their businesses.  Along with full and part-time employment possibilities, this is also a chance for underclassmen to check out potential internships.

               

              Business After Hours

              This casual networking event is a great way to cultivate new business relationships and strengthen existing ones.  Each month, a different Chamber member hosts the event as an opportunity to showcase their business and staff.  There is no charge for members and potential members to attend.  The host provides the location, food, beverages and at least one door prize.  The Chamber will promote the event via newsletter, radio and eblast.
