Since nearly 90 percent of the Chamber's business members are small companies with fewer than 100 employees, the needs of small companies are important to the Chamber.

Each month, the Chamber offers its Morning Business Advice breakfast programs, presented and sponsored by knowledgeable members. On the menu are topics of particular interest to entrepreneurs who "do it all" to make their business succeed: effective and innovative marketing strategies, sound accounting practices, technology tips, hiring and employment practices, collecting on accounts.

A fresh lineup of MBA programs will be announced in January. Most programs are held at the DJ Bordini Center adjacent to the Fox Valley Technical College campus in Appleton. Cost to attend is $5 for Chamber members in advance, or $7 members and $10 for non-members at the door
