New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce will be conducting a special Member Information Center (MIC) training session on Wednesday, October 28th at 8am to help members learn how to post “hot deals” and “member-to-member incentives” on the Chamber’s web site in an effort to support a community-wide Buy Local Day.
Buy Local Day is Saturday, November 28th. First South Bank approached the Chamber to assist them in raising awareness of the effect that buying and shopping locally has on our community. ”There’s no better way to promote your business than to incentivize the community or fellow Chamber members with a hot deal or member incentive and we couldn’t think of better way to kick off the campaign than by helping our members encourage the community to shop and buy local at their local business! The Chamber has undergone substantial changes that now provide members a wealth of benefits and tools that help them not only succeed, but thrive!,” states Kevin Roberts, President, New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce
What do you need to do to participate?

Chamber members may also register to attend a special October 28th Member Information Center training session that will teach members how to post either a hot deal or member incentive on the Chamber’s website.
