The Blount County Membership Event chairs have been selected for the July 12-14 event being held at the Second Harvest Food Bank. The Blount County Chamber thanks these fine folks for their support and effort in making this event successful.
The Chairs will recruit five captains who will then compile teams to call on potential Chamber members at the event. The Chairs are Aaron Snukals (Second Harvest Food Bank), Ben Pinnell (Hickory Construction), Bob Booker (DENSO), Brian Tuggle (Personal Care Choices), Chris Soro (C2RL Engineering), Mary Beth West (MBW Communications), Dave Bennett (Cherokee Millwright), David Talley (LeConte Realty), Don Heinemann (Blount Memorial Hospital), Gaynell Lawson (CBBC), George Quarles (Maryville High School), Greg Wilson (First Tennessee), Joe Tipton (Twin City Dealerships), Joy Bishop (Philanthropist), Steve Garner (Blount Excavating), Tom Bogart (Maryville College), Tommy Hunt (EZ Stop), Tony Thompson (Pinnacle Financial Partners), Virginia Hardwick (Staffing Solutions).
For two and a half days, over 100 volunteers will work against the clock and each other to sign up new Chamber members and create a greater community awareness of the important role of the Chamber of Commerce. The event is organized by Jimmy Cusano and a group called Your Chamber Connection. Their speciality is high energy membership campaigns that allow volunteers to conduct ‘out of the box’ membership fun while building the membership base.
