If you want to learn more about how to be sure you are getting the most from your membership\, please join us at one of our complimentary Chamber 101: Introductory &\; Refresher Courses. \; We offer six each year. \; You can register for them online at www.ColumbiaMOChamber.com or by calling (573) 817-9110. \; This popular class is free but space is limited so registration is required. \;
Please consider joining us at our Membership Committee meeting\, Co-Chaired by Mark Mills of Cumulus Broadcasting and Jayme Dement\, Bob McCosh Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac\, Inc. \; and hosted by Columbia Chamber of \; Commerce Membership Director\, Mary Kroening. \;
This committee works to provide a warm welcome to our new Chamber Members and also to newly named representatives. We do this by calling\, sending a card\, making a visit or offering to host them at events. \; \; \; \;
The Membership Committee also: \;
\; \; \; \; * \; Serves as hosts and escorts at each of the Quarterly Membership Breakfasts (QMB)\, focusing on \;all members\, not just new members\, so that all experience a warm welcome. \;

\; \; \; \; * Works to have a broad based knowledge of all the Chamber has to offer so we can best answer questions from our membership\, new and established.
If you like to mix and mingle and help members feel comfortable in a new environment\, then this committee would be a good fit for you. \; We also welcome those with good attention to detail for registration and nametag organization\, and with event planning skills and creativity.
We meet the third \;Thursday of every month at 8:15 am and we are \;always done before 9:30 am. \; We meet in the Community Room (to the left) at the Walton Building (aka: \; The Chamber\, The CVB\, The Office of Cultural Affairs) \;which is located at the corner of Providence and Elm\, at 300 S Providence Road.
