Learn the latest in Continued on page 3 Networking and Beyond In a recent discussion about serving as the Chairman of the Board of the Grapevine Chamber, I had a business acquaintance express surprise. He wondered out loud why I would support an organization that was there for just networking. Anytime you are asked a question like this, it can make you pause and quickly review in your mind what the benefits are - why you invest time and money, when both are precious commodities. For the Grapevine Chamber, the answer is as varied as the number of business members involved. Yes, the Grapevine Chamber has not just one, but two Business After Hours Mixers per month. However, instead of considering these as “networking events,” Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/Grapevinecoc the Chamber considers these as opportunities to “build your network.” While there are now Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and email, none of these compete with a one on one - eye to eye handshake, complete with passing on a business card.

If the evening doesn’t work for someone’s business schedule, there are morning and noon networking groups to promote your products and services. When a business takes time to look further into the organization, they will find that a Chamber can provide you, your business and your employees with education, legislation and relevant community information that strengthen not only our individual businesses but the entire service area. From bringing in local, state and national speakers to the monthly luncheons, creating a City / Chamber partnership to developing future leaders - the Grapevine Chamber is a conduit to providing a forum that no other organization provides. For Baylor, the Chamber has provided an avenue for our hospital to educate the Grapevine community on our services and values. We have had hospital administrators who have participated in Leadership Grapevine to educate ourselves on the community around us. The Chamber Board is actively working throughout the year to find ways to benefit the companies who see the bigger picture and who invest in the Chamber, to not just promote their business, but to work hand in hand with other companies in our city and region to become a world class community.

Progam Three Top Tarrant County Women-Owned Businesses Young Entrepreneurs Academy in Grapevine Chamber The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is a year-long program that teaches middle and high school students how to start and run their own REAL businesses. YEA! was developed at the University of Rochester in 2004 with the support of a grant from the Kauffman Foundation. The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce is excited to be introducing YEA! to the Grapevine Community! YEA! guides students through the process of starting and running a legitimate business or social movement over the course of a full academic year. YEA! has graduated almost 600 students over the past 7 years, who have started almost 450 businesses and social movements! YEA! graduates started as students, and left the program as CEOs of their own companies! Over the course of the program, students: • Brainstorm business ideas • Write a business plan • Interact with business professionals • Pitch their business plan to potential “investors” (think Shark Tank meets the Apprentice meets American Idol) • Obtain funding • Legally register their businesses • Participate in a Trade Show • Actually launch their own businesses or social movements Chamber Member Involvement Through their interactions with business professionals during the year, YEA! students gain some of the most important knowledge and experience they need to succeed. Local professionals volunteer their time and expertise as guest speakers, mentors, investors, graphic designers, field trip hosts, business plan reviewers, and much more. The time YEA! students spend with adults who encourage their futures is invaluable, and participants often report getting even more out of their participation than they put in to it! Sponsorship opportunities include: • • • • • Instructor (minimum 10 weeks) Guest Speaker Business Mentor (7 weeks, 1 1/2 hour each) Investor Panel Judge (one evening - Shark Tank) Advisory Board Member For more information or to get involved, contact RaDonna Hessel at (817) 481-1522 or [email protected].

Many facets of the community participated and the families were encouraged to speak with all of them. There were 1056 registered students and the First United Methodist Church, The FUMC Thrift Shop and FUMC Seekers Sunday School Class pitched in to make up the funds to purchase the remaining school supplies, so all preregistered students were served. The August luncheon was our annual Style Show featuring our members, Mothers or Grandmothers and their children or grandchildren modeling some seasonal outfits from Style and Grace Boutique. In September we will be hearing from Dr. Cindy Ryan, Associate Pastor at First United Methodist Church, Grapevine, about having a servant’s heart: passion for service vs. apathy; a subject close to our hearts. Please feel welcome to come visit our club at any of our meetings. They are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 11:45 am at Stacy Furniture 3rd Floor Community Room, 1900 South Main Street, Grapevine, TX 76051.
