As we move into the not so lazy, hazy but very crazy days of summer we have a lot on our plate as always. Just like the relentless heat of a summer day, our program of work presents a seemingly endless “to do” list. The list both challenging and fulfilling knowing that the efforts we put forth as a Chamber of Commerce have a direct impact on the communities we live and work in. There is so much to report and so much to be proud of. The Crystal Apple Awards once again showcased the talents and work ethic of so many of our amazing educators. Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners and a heart felt thank you to the committee and staff that worked so hard to make this event so special. The New Membership Drive has begun with excitement and high expectations. The 2015 Membership Directory & Community Guide ad sales campaign is in full swing, so please reserve your space. Our 2015 Golf Classic committee is meeting and planning for another successful event in October. The Education Committee is busy with our annual Book Drive as well. This is a time for vacations and family. Our Southeast Volusia County area will again this summer provide great lifetime memories for so many visitors and locals alike. Please remember that we are all ambassadors for both the Chamber of Commerce and our communities. All of our members share in the economics of our tourism business and while we may have to wait a bit longer at times or sit in traffic occasionally, our visitors should be treated as a cherished asset to our business community.

Crystal Apple Winners 2015! Trey Harshaw, Crystal Apple Co-Chair MEDIA SPONSORS AM1230 WSBB Radio Smyrna Life Quarterly Magazine Keys To Our City HomeTown News New Smyrna Pennysaver Catherine Taylor Lamb, Taylor Lamb Law | 386-957-4832 What to do with the AOB site, located at 160 N. Causeway in New Smyrna Beach, has been the hot topic question in current events and two very different proposals are in the final running for this desirable piece of NSB intracoastal real estate. White Development is looking to develop the property into a smaller, Key West style grocery store with a big name backing. The proposal features an accommodation for boaters and a landscaped riverwalk promenade around the water's edge for public use. Also vying for this site, Coronado Island Marine seeks to add the property to its existing complex with the development of a multi-use project that includes a brand name hotel, on-site restaurant, marina, village market, boat space, dry dock and more, also with a promenade around the water's edge for public use. The New Smyrna Beach City Commission is scheduled to make its decision between the two proposed projects at the June 9th meeting. The RFPs for these projects are available for viewing on the NSB City's website. Membership Committee Sarah Mellring, Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc. | 386-427-0694 ext 304 In our membership committee meetings we frequently discuss the value of Chamber membership. How we can provide value to our members, how to better communicate the value of membership, how to promote the realization of value, etc. Statistics provided in a research study titled The Real Value of Joining a Local Chamber of Commerce show that membership to the Chamber of Commerce and commitment to your community do more for your business than you may realize. • If a company shows that it is highly involved in its local chamber, consumers are 12% more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition. • When consumers know that a restaurant franchise is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 40% more likely to eat at the franchise in the next few months. • When consumers know that an insurance company is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 43% more likely to consider buying insurance from it. • When consumers know that a small business is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future. These are big numbers, and just a part of the value that your Chamber membership provides! We are always looking for new volunteers for our membership committee. It is a great group that meets the first Friday of every month from 8:30am-9:30am at the Chamber building. We discuss membership acquisition, retainage, benefits, and events.

Regular communication will go a long way toward making people feel like you trust them and that they’re unlikely to be hit with unpleasant surprises. Win trust. – Partners within your community are more loyal and enthusiastic when they are a part of an environment run by people they trust. Take an interest in your community beyond just your workplace. Be authentic. – If you’re not a suit, don’t try to be one. Potential clients dealing with your company will be able to tell if you’re just pretending to be someone you’re not. That could make them question what else about you might be inauthentic. Earn respect. – When you conduct yourself in an ethical way and model the traits you want to see in others, you earn the respect of those around you. Stay curious. – Good leaders remain intellectually curious and committed to learning. Thank You Sponsors!
