Purpose of Greeters
Greeters is a meeting for Chamber members designed to maximize your networking opportunities and help you get the word out about your business, organization or service.The Chamber is proud of the Greeters program and the wonderful opportunities it provides for networking among our members, but we are anxious to expand the numbers of Chamber members taking advantage of this great opportunity! To host greeters and to attend contact the Chamber office.
What happens at Greeters?
The Greeters Chairperson handles the entire program. The host will be interviewed first, allowing everyone to learn more about that business. New members of the Chamber will then be introduced. Self-introductions of all those attending Greeters is very popular, as it also allows opportunities for networking.
Courtesies & Guidelines
To enhance everyone's Greeters experience, please follow these basic courtesies and guidelines.
Self-introductions. Please limit your self-introductions to your name, the name of your business and your special "tagline." Please be appropriate, professional and brief! Please be attentive and courteous. No announcements are allowed during self-introductions.Guests. Guests may attend Greeters three times before they join the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce.
Printed Announcements. Again, announcements are not permitted during self-introductions. Please take time to read these announcements! This is a great opportunity to find out what is going on with our member businesses. If you wish to make an announcement about your business or organization, complete a "Greeters Announcement Form" by 5 p.m. Wednesday prior to Thursday's meeting. Announcements will be printed and distributed at the meeting. Forms are available at the Chamber office or by calling 884-5193 to have one faxed to you.
Political statements. The Klamath Chamber wants to keep Greeters a place where people feel free to enjoy what Greeters has to offer. We are an organization that sometimes deals with political issues, but never endorse individual candidates as an organization. Therefore, we need to keep personal political campaigns from becoming the focus when people are given the microphone for the purpose of self-introductions.
Cell Phones & Pagers. Please use common courtesy regarding cell phones, radios and pagers during the meeting. In other words, please turn them off or put them on silent. Thank you.
