Creating An Incredible Family: Membership Event Overview

Updated: Nov 19, 2019



The Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce is assembling the most amazing Chamber Family through the 2019 Membership Event. We want everyone involved to be informed, excited and ready to take action.


This is a fun and friendly competition! The Chairs selected will be competing to have the top producing Membership Event Team and they will do all they can to not be ROASTED at the Toast & Roast Event Thursday, November 21st.


How does the Membership Event work? Your Chamber Connection has this guy, who is kind of like "Charlie" off of Charlie's Angels." He talks some and gives some marching orders. The only difference is he is doing this in person and he totally wears a colorful zoot suit.


So here is a quick overview.



THE CHAIRS: The Membership Event Chairs are ready to Rock! They had a meeting on October 23rd and were given their mission. You will be hearing from these amazing Chairs to participate as a Captain for one of the following dates in November- 19th & 20th. Each Chair will selected a total of 5 Captains! These Chairs will decorate their tables, get their Captains and Superheroes hyped for the festivities, and will be a resource for their assembled volunteers throughout the Membership Event.
