Yes, but, there are times throughout the year when the normal pace is slower than usual and this is a good time to remind your volunteers to stay engaged.
The key is to keep
thinking ahead of the curve and use your volunteers to identify those emerging
trends that the business community is going to be dealing with in the next
three to five years.
Do you have an Emerging

You probably have a handle
on what's happening today - that's being reactive to what is sent your way.

pro-active by identifying the big issues that will need to be addressed, in your community, by the business sector. Just to name a few:
- Economic development
- Transportation
- Technology
- Education
- The demographic shift of the workforce
