What your members are facing
Doing it all alone
Owners wear every hat and rarely hear they're not crazy for trying. Community is the whole point of your chamber.
Competing with the giants
Small shops feel out-muscled. Marc makes the case that generosity and community are advantages the big guys can't copy.
Running on empty
The grind is real. Members need a refill, not another seminar.
