Chamber Launches On-line-Radio Station
The Calabasas Chamber is preparing to launch its very own on-line
radio station, CalabasasChamberRadio.com. CalabasasChamberRadio.
com is a unique on-line marketing tool that will greatly enhance chamber member benefits by giving each member an opportunity to maximize
their business exposure – both on and off line.
The Calabasas Chamber of Commerce has partnered with BigMediaUSA, a leading producer of on-line broadcast content since 2006. “Online radio brings a new dimension for the chamber to provide marketing
that spans the entire business community,” states Tony DeMaio, Chairman
/ CEO of Big Media USA. “It is ground breaking for a chamber to offer a
program that not only has the potential to increase local business, but also
benefits those businesses that need a national presence.”
Chamber President / CEO Maureen Whalen will interview business
owners and “C” level executives, giving them the opportunity to express
their passion and expertise to an audience like no other medium can.
Those interviews stay on both the main BigMediaUSA site as well as the
CalabasasChamberRadio.com site, and are available to listeners 24/7.
These sites can then be marketed through mailers, email, print ads and
linked to other on-line social media sites.
“Each radio interview is cross linked within the Big Media USA
broadcast platform,” states Michelle Paquette, owner of All Ways Consulting and Vice-Chair of Chamber Development for the Board of Directors.
“This platform has over 10 networks of content, giving our members nearly unlimited potential for getting their message out.”
CalabasasChamberRadio.Com officially launches mid-month. Stay
tuned for details!
For more information or to find out how to book your show on

or Michelle Paquette at [email protected].

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
By Brenda Johnson, Calabasas Pharmacy
T
hank you to each of you who took a few minutes to complete the brief member survey we sent out last month.
The objective of the survey was to enable our members to provide
feedback to the board so that we can plan the types of programs you
desire and provide value to your membership. We received a 15%
response rate so far. I would love to hear more! The survey is still
available at Member Survey so if you haven’t already responded,
please take a minute to answer a few questions. Or, let any board
member or deputy know how you feel when you see us at the next.
Here is a summary of what we have heard: By far, the majority
of you joined the chamber for networking and marketing purposes. Secondly, two-thirds of
you feel we are meeting or exceeding your expectations with respect to the reasons you joined
the chamber. Twenty percent responded they are unaware of our Economic and Government
Affairs Committee and our Education Committee. Some of you indicated that you are not
aware of the marketing opportunities available (such as sponsorship opportunities and mailing
list availability). Finally, under “areas of business training and professional development” most
desired, marketing and business development led the list of responses.
We are interested in hearing more about programs and services that you would like us
to make available. We would also like to hear about changes you would like to see with our
current programs. You asked for more luncheons with good, hot food, and interesting speakers, and we are listening. We are bringing back our lunch series on a bi-monthly basis. These
luncheons will be held at the Calabasas Country Club and will alternate with smaller, brownbag lunches held at the chamber office. These smaller gatherings, or “Lunch and Learn’s” will
allow members the opportunity to improve your networking skills and to get to know other
members in a small friendly setting.
In response to member requests, I am happy to report that we are expanding our “Up
Close and Personal” events. Beginning this month on April 14, these informative gatherings
will be held every other month. They will give members the chance to hear from - and interact
with - public officials on a regular basis. April’s Up Close and Personal will introduce our newest city council members, Lucy Martin and Fred Gaines.
Member Orientations are also making their way back to a “regularly scheduled” basis.
Each quarter, members will have the opportunity to learn about your chamber: what it can
do for you and how to get the most from your membership. For those of you who attended
the first one on March 31st at the Sagebrush Cantina, we hope you found it informative and
interesting. If you weren’t able to make the March gathering, watch for news of the next one,
scheduled to take place in June.
This is just the beginning. Additional programs, events, and opportunities are being developed - all based on your feedback and suggestions. If you aren’t already, we encourage you
to get involved! Like anything else in life, the more you give, the more successful you - and the
chamber - will be. There is something for everyone…just ask.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
By Martin Seda, Economic & Governmental Affairs Committee Chair

...From the desk of the
Chamber Sheriff
Chamber Sheriff Amanda Beck and her Deputies: Working
to assure arresting hospitality for members and guests!
Howdy folks! Sheriff Amanda Beck here.
My main focus this month is to bring on six new
energetic deputies to represent the Calabasas Chamber.
What is a Deputy you ask? The Deputy Committee Consists of Chamber members whose responsibility it is to “meet
and greet” the Chamber membership at functions, assimilate new members into the Chamber,
contact members by phone and, in general, promote the benefits
of the Chamber to other members and the community. It is the
goal of the Deputies to help new members find their niche in the
Chamber.
Who Makes a good Deputy? To be a Deputy, a person should
be friendly, outgoing and able to approach people they don’t know
at Chamber functions. A Deputy is the person who searches out
“wallflowers” at mixers, breakfasts and luncheons and introduces
those people to others and helps them network.
Requirements for becoming a Deputy: Chamber member for
6 months, be able to attend: NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION,
CHAMBER BREAKFAST, CHAMBER LUNCHEON,D E P U T Y
COMMITTEE MEETING.
Please see me or any Deputy wearing a badge if you are
interested.
Until next month,
Sheriff Beck
Chamber Members help welcome new member Wolf Creek Restaurant
and Brewing Company at a St. Patrick’s Day mixer March 17. Holding

manager. To her right is Chris Haney, manager.
