Last month we asked for your input with a survey of how the Chamber is doing and what kinds of opportunities we offer. We have considered what you have told us and the interest expressed in a series of workshops and seminars dealing with the important issues of running a business. An Education Task Force has been charged to develop a program that is tailored to the needs of our members and the business community of the Souhegan Valley.

We need your input!

Please take a few minutes to answer the seven questions in this survey to help identify the areas of business operations, financial concerns, day to day functions that you want to learn more about from people with expertise in the field. This is very important information for the Task Force to put together an effective list of offerings for you and/or your employees.
