SALISBURY, NC (August 10, 2018) – The Rowan County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce excellent speakers for its sixth annual Power in Partnership (PIP) breakfast series.
“The Chamber is very excited about the upcoming PIP speaker series,” said Dr. Janet Spriggs, Chair of the Board and COO with Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. She continued, “We want all our Chamber members to get their Power Cards now so they don’t miss out on any of these fantastic programs.”
Josh Ward with the National Association of Manufacturers will kick off the PIP season with a “Salute to Manufacturing” on Thurs., Sept. 20, 7:30 a.m. at Trinity Oaks (728 Klumac Road). Several local manufacturers will be featured as we prepare for National Manufacturing Day plant tours on Fri., Oct. 5.
The 2018-19 PIP speakers include:
The Chamber’s breakfast series averaged over 150 attendees each month during its last five seasons. The 2018-19 series will bring top notch speakers to the community and provide high level networking opportunities. Sponsors will have the exclusive marketing rights to the banquet room and provide a five minute sponsor profile on their company. Partner agencies will share updates with the local business leaders and address issues of concern for the entire region.
The Leadership Rowan Class will start their day at the breakfast and then venture out for each day’s session focused on a different aspect of the community.
The Chamber’s popular Power Card will once again be offered for those who would like to take advantage of the PIP frequent attender program. Power Card holders receive a discounted price for the series and do not have to make a reservation each month. The cost is $95 for members; $225 for non-members.
