The Chamber dedicated the week of March 1-5, 2010 to a special effort to reach out to the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana business community, informing businesses of the benefits the Chamber provides and the incentives for investing in the 1,700-member organization. Mayor Tom Henry officially declared the week “Chamber Community Awareness Week,” and Chamber members and board members devoted their time to making contact with their friends and business associates and encouraging them to invest in the Chamber.

The Chamber wishes to thank each of the volunteers who gave their valuable time to Chamber Community Awareness Week, and the numerous businesses that offered prize incentives to volunteers to make the week a fun and exciting event. The Chamber is 90 businesses stronger thanks to all of your efforts!

Special congratulations to new member Leaders Staffing, the winner of the Golden Ticket grand prize! Each business that invested in the Chamber during Community Awareness Week was entered into a grand prize "Golden Ticket" drawing.
