The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce shall be to create a more favorable atmosphere for local business in harmony with the quality and character of the community.

The Board of Directors meets the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. The next meeting will be held May 9th in the Killingworth Library meeting room. All members are welcome to attend. Business owners interested in joining the Chamber are also invited to attend. The Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting featured a guest presentation by Erica Tannen, creator of the online e-list, " an Excruciatingly Opinionated Guide to the Connecticut Shoreline." The e-list (www.the-e-list.com) website offers a directory of shoreline businesses and events. Members can also sign up for a weekly newsletter which brings deals and events right to your inbox. Businesses can advertise online and in the newsletter.

Tannen encouraged Chamber members to get online and use all the social media tools available to promote their business, many of which are free. Simple marketing tools include creating a Facebook page for your business, which is entirely separate from your personal page; and sending a monthly newsletter to clients to keep in touch with them about things happening in your business and other snippets of useful information. Newsletters can be easily composed in online programs such as Constant Contact.
