In for another Chamber Minute, it’s Rosey. Last Friday night I was asked to be a part of Coos County Pitch Night for 5 Entrepreneurs who want to start or expand their businesses giving their best pitch at the Egyptian Theatre. This event brought to life by Tanya Rasley the Program Manager at the South Coast Accelerator with the South Coast Development Council, was well attended, and the businesses seemed to really have fun with their pitches. I served as one of the advisors on the judges panel awarding a 1st through 5th place with ALL contestants receiving cash and other prizes that can assist these businesses further, such as Chamber membership & Marketing assistance! Teaming up with other agencies to help strengthen business is what we are all about. All of the businesses competing were all commenting how much they grew in their pitches and coachings they received in the weeks beforehand. Way to go Tanya Rasley of the South Coast Accelerator, we see you, and we want to help every year! Creating a stronger tomorrow together is the theme we march through January with! Events like Pitch Night, or Business Builders courses, even Chamber Business After Hours events, Women in Business through CCD, all ways in which we come together to network and help promote each other for a stronger local economy and a better business climate!
