Behind the scenes in Conway, Arkansas

One Step Forward. Two Steps Back

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

I know I keep promising frequent posts and timely info.  But this time I swear it wasn’t my fault. A full explanation from my tech team can be heard here. Basically when Facebook bought FriendFeed, it broke our site.  After much debugging by someone other than us, we are back live. The real shame is [...]

Entrepreneurship for Smarties

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Today’s BarCamp at UCA marks a milestone in the next generation of job creation in Conway and central Arkansas. I challenge someone to name an event in central Arkansas that matched BarCamp Conway in talent, conversation or entrepreneurial spirit. I came to this event expecting to be overwhelmed with tech speak and obscure social media [...]

And now a word from our sponsors…

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

TheChamberLife.com is blessed with a small, but dedicated, group of local businesses willing to underwrite the cost of maintaining this site. Today, I want to take a moment to thank one of those, Caldwell Toyota. If you are in the market for a new or used car, you care about the environment and you want [...]

The hits just keep on coming.

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

After some record breaking construction last year.  The Conway economy is back after it.  Today we attended the “topping out” event for the new Southwestern Energy Regional Headquarters currently under construction in the Hendrix Village.  The building, the site, the setting are all awesome.  I can’t wait to see this building full of folks.  It’s [...]

Dude, let’s go bowling!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

In lieu of witty prose, I’m cutting to the chase.  Bowling for Business. New business networking event. July 9th. Conway Family Bowl.  Not convinced?  Read below.  1. Golf tournaments are not good business networking events. At Bowling for Business you will be in position to network with 240 local businessfolk. 2. July is too hot [...]

Only at the Chamber would this behavior be tolerated

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

We here at TheChamberLife really do crank out a lot of work.  Sometimes you can’t tell it from our blog, but the folks in this building are literally all over the place making “the good” happen all over town.  That’s why it is important that we play well together.  I just want to take a [...]

The post so good it took two months to write

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

So our Annual Meeting was the bomb. You know how I know for sure? Because it was two months ago and I’m still impressed by it.  (I already apologized for lazy blogging, so let’s just move on) Over 900 folks (a record and sell out crowd) came together to celebrate our local economy.  The UCA [...]

I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Let’s be friends again.

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

It can be a little awkward when you tell someone that you’re gonna call, meet up, write, or blog and then you don’t for a couple months. Let me apologize. TheChamberLife has not set the standard in dependability. Sure, we’re still cute. But that only lasts so long. In what is truly a case of [...]

Operators are Standing By

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

It’s the third and final day of the biennial Conway Chamber Membership Event.  Over the last two days we have added more than 200 new members.  We are now the 3rd largest chamber in Arkansas (approx 1,500 members).  Today is dedicated mainly to gathering checks and celebrating our volunteers.  For the second time we hired Your Chamber Connection to help us [...]

Chamber Annual Meeting – “You can’t unmiss it”

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

The Chamber Annual Meeting is almost here.  Boy am I nervous/excited.  In case you didn’t notice,  this is almost like prom for your business.  By definition, annual meetings only come once a year.  You miss it.  Tough luck. You can’t unmiss it.  Trust me, the last thing you want to happen at work Friday, March 5th is for [...]
