The E Flash is the Chamber's information in newsletter format, sent out every Monday. This newsletter is filled with Chamber updates, news, promotion & marketing opportunities, Visitor Center updates and more. We do not accept submissions to this newsletter.
The B Flash, is our Business to Business newsletter, sent out every Tuesday. This newsletter is filled with Member updates, events, discounts, professional development ideas, and more. In an effort to respond to the feedback we have received about our newsletters we have created submission criteria to ensure fairness, accuracy, and a fresh newsletter each week. Here are the criteria:
- Submissions are to be 100 words or less sent in the body of an email or in a Word Document.
- Deadline is every Friday at 12:00 noon- we must stick to this and it will be enforced.
- Submissions are to be written in third person- avoid "I, We, Us" (standard press release format).
