** Minutes for September 5, 2018 ** ** Board Meeting 7a-8a ** Present: Daniel Watts, Elizabeth Labbe, Patrick Miller, Jen Johnson ** Absent: Mary Watts (8am Manchester meeting), Cheryl Johnson (vacation) ** ** Kearsarge Business Showcase Meeting 8a-10:30a ** Present: Daniel Watts, Elizabeth Labbe, Patrick Miller, Jen Johnson, Steven Reddy, Ty Meier Board Meeting + No formal agenda other than discussing the upcoming business showcase before the rest of the volunteers arrived around 8am. 8am was the earliest that everyone could commit to. + Jen felt that having Contoocook River Business Club as a sponsor was inappropriate. All other members disagreed. A vote was taken and the majority opinion was that CRBC sponsorship is fine. + We discussed fees for the showcase. Various proposals were made. We settled on $10 for members and $50 for non members. New members and NH Open Doors registered participants would be free. + We decided a mailing to all members to solicit their participation should be done. There should be FB and Instragram posts. + We talked about radio / tv advertising. WMUR and YCN were mentioned. Kearsarge Business Showcase Meeting + Need to have good advertising coverage + A USPS mailing is desirable. Would Lumber Barn have the ability to mention the showcase in any upcoming mailing they might have? Dan to follow up + Ask Concord Monitor if they have any special advertising issues coming up. In the past the Chamber has had a block page advertisement with our logo and event information in the head. The rest of the page is filled with individual member ads. Dan to follow up with Katy Rockwell at CM.
