Interesting point of view, Deborah.  We are struggling with how to maintain effectiveness in this new world of social media.  From your photo, you look like a Millennial.  With this group, all former "standards" have been thrown out of the window.  We find that less and less of the younger business professionals want to network face-to-face or shake a hand.  Looking down at a phone screen seems to be the new way of doing business.  Getting up early to network at a breakfast meeting is not on the agenda - neither if the after hours networking.  Our most successful networking happens during lunch - paid by the business - with a good speaker as the draw.  You are correct, we are morphing into something different and that is why most Chamber executives need to realize that the days of operating on dues income alone is way past time.  Non-dues revenues and more outreach into the community is important. The general public, however, still relies on Chambers for information and endorsement.  Your insight is important, thank you!
