Join us for the 84th Marion Chamber Annual Meeting! This year’s meeting will feature a keynote by Aaron Putze as well as remarks from 2020-21 Board Chair Paul Phelan, Phelan's, and current Board Chair Matthew Skogman, Skogman Homes.
Get Back to Different Business
Keynote Speaker: Aaron Putze
As much as we may want, there’s no going back to January of 2020 and how life and business were interwoven. It’s now fall of 2021, and we’re not going back to business. We are, however, returning to a different business! There are new expectations. New wants. New demands. New expectations. They require us – and our businesses, communities and chambers – to think differently and act differently. While we can’t control too much of what happens externally, we can be equipped internally to make the most of change. Aaron Putze is an author, manager and popular speaker. He’ll offer three keys you can use to unlock the potential of each moment, relationship, and opportunity.
Aaron will share timely insights guaranteed to make you laugh and reflect while looking to the future with greater clarity and positivity!
