News
The Chamber introduces a new membership management software system.
The Chamber has recently converted to a new membership management software system which will allow us to better meet your needs.
In the very near future we will be providing you with information on how to update your organization´s online profile and how to update your individual contact information on our database. The communication we send to you will include a unique user ID and password which you can use to update this information and to register online for Chamber events. These changes will save you time and assist us in ensuring the accuracy of your information.
To ensure accuracy, the printing of our 2007 membership directory has been delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Look forward to receiving your member directory within the next few weeks.
If you have any questions relating to this, please do not hesitate to contact Dale Bellaire, Director Member Services who is the project manager on our database conversion. Dale can be reached by telephone at 519-749-6031 or by email at dbellaire@greaterkwchamber.com
