It's the NEW Week at a Glance (WAAG)!!

Happy New Year to our business members and our member contacts!!  If you received this email, your business is a member and you are listed as a contact.  I want to introduce to you to our NEW Week at a Glance weekly email.  Our old WAAG limited our content to a single page carried over from our old Weekly Fax days.  We also sent it as a PDF.  This new format provides two avenues to communicate to the membership making it convenient to program events into your calendar and easier to read and find the items that matter most to you.

We hope you have a very successful 2015!!  We've got many new updates coming down the line to strengthen our local communities.  The chamber has also opportunities to serve on a variety of committee leadership teams.
  1. Week at a Glance (WAAG) emails occur on Wednesdays and includes information on upcoming chamber events for the next week and ahead.
  2. Member Mondays (MM) emails occur on Mondays and will include information and promotions from you, our members including a relaunch of the Member Marketplace, Job Board and Benefits-365(tm).  Simply send your 1-paragraph content and graphic to chamber@thebizalliance.org.  (See our help page on sending graphics to the chamber) 
Q: Who receives the WAAG and MM?
A: Our members.  You can unsubscribe by clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom, (I hope you don't) but you won't receive any email communications from the chamber that may help your business grow, reduce expenses or gain additional business knowledge.  New members will be subscribed and dropped members will be automatically unsubscribed.  These emails remain a member benefit.

New Email addresses:
With our recent name change (and the new year), we will start employing new email addresses.  Don't worry, sending emails to @chamberwest.org or @eastvalleychamber.org will still arrive at the office for a few more months.
