Chairman's Message


One of the major projects underway at the Allen Chamber of Commerce is the redesign of our web page.  Josie Zendejas has been hard at work for the last several months developing the new site. 
 
The homepage will feature our new logo and a cleaner look.  Pages and links will be added to improve navigation and online registration.  The membership directory will be updated automatically so that all listings are current, searchable and members will be listed by category and by company name.  Links to Chamber programs will be added along with either downloadable or online applications including membership application process. Our program of work will be published online and of course the link to our newsletter.  We will feature banner advertising for those members who invest at the higher levels (that’s part of their membership investment).  There will be a calendar listing all Chamber events and meetings.  I think you will really like the new look and feel.
 
As I have mentioned several times, the Chamber board and staff are trying to be more open to input from our member businesses and to seriously listen when one of our members makes a suggestion.  In that spirit, we would like to know if any of you have suggestions for what you would like to see included in our new website.  If you do, please let me (mailto:bob@fortunefs.com), Josie (mailto:josiez@attbi.com) or Sharon (mailto: smayer@allenchamber.com) know as soon as possible.
