TRD 2008

Are you looking for a way to help the Chamber while making and strengthening business contacts? The third annual Total Resource Development (TRD) campaign will begin soon, and the Chamber staff, as well as the volunteers, could not be more excited! Allen Schirmer of United Bank will serve as the campaign's Chair and will lead our volunteers through another successful campaign! 2008 TRD promises to be even more prosperous than last year. The goal of the campaign is to raise $250,000 for the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, an increase of $50,000 from the 2007 goal.

 

Over the span of 12 weeks, volunteers will be striving to strengthen the Arlington Chamber and will be rewarded with special networking events for volunteers only, along with other incentives along the way. The ultimate prize will be for top producers - a victory trip later in 2008! This third TRD will prove to be the best yet - for the Chamber and for volunteers. Everyone involved has a great time and has the opportunity to meet scores of new people. Training dates are scheduled for the first two weeks in March.
