The biggest achievement in 2000 was the launch of the chamber's new Web page. The goal of the site is to communicate more effectively with the chamber membership as well as visitors and community residents. Moving into 2001, the chamber staff is committed to the continued development of the site. The site lists upcoming events sponsored by the chamber and allows members to register online. Potential members can find information about the benefits of membership.
Visitors can search the chamber database either by type of business or by company name.
All member companies are linked through database information. Links are provided to elected officials as well as pertinent government sites. The Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce and The Herald will host the Shenango Valley Business Expo on Feb. 7 at the Rosemont Banquet Center, Sharon. Open to the public, the event offers businesses an opportunity to showcase their products and services. Last year's attendance was over 200, and the committee's goal is to double that number this year.
