One of the things I love about being a small business is that I get to work with other small businesses and also get to create some great relationships. When I first started the business in 2004, I joined the local chamber of commerce, and really didn't do anything  with the chamber the 1st year. The 2nd and 3rd years have been very nice to me. I have met some really great people from the chamber, and we received some really nice clients too!

When I heard that they were going to be starting a Technology Committee, I couldn't resist. We meet monthly and go over the wish list of things that we think the chamber needs or would like to have. We are the only Small Business Specialist in Royal Palm and we decided that it was time to give back. We set the chamber up with the help of Ron Tomchin, and now the chamber has some more options to help them work easier and smarter. As with new technology comes training, which we are still trying to work out, so the staff can start using the features of Small Business Server.

I think all in all, we looked at close to 25 different logos. I saw the version of this, and loved it, tweaked it, and so far have been getting a good response. We now have that professional look we have been looking for.
