Next Monday's Wall Street Journal

I just spoke with the reporter that interviewed us in January from the Wall Street Journal. Next Monday, the WSJ will release their article about chambers of commerce that use innovative technologies to help businesses grow.

Your Salem Chamber will be featured as part of that article because of this platform we call Face2Face. Today, we've sent out links to our entire membership, and we're excited to see you all setting up your profiles and getting connected!

Much of the credit for this innovation goes to Tim Fahndrich of The Third River, Inc. Tim helps businesses harness the power of the web, and this technology was a recommendation from him based on our need to keep businesses connected in an increasingly disconnected world.

The work of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce has never been more important. Thank you to each of you who renew your membership each year, thus revving up the momentum of this great community.
