Why Women Need to Save More than Men

By Steven Brisgel, Morgan Stanley

Steven BrisgelMen and women may not be on equal footing when it comes to investing for the future. On average, women work fewer years and earn less than men, but they also tend to live longer.1 Therefore, women must focus on the concerns that are unique to them when planning for retirement.

Does Your Company Struggle with Performance Appraisals?

By Donna Price, Real World Leadership Institute

Donna Price

Performance appraisals are often a stressor for managers and employees alike. They are put off,
ignored and each party hopes they will just go away. But the performance appraisal does not
have to be a negative event, in changing the framework of the appraisal it can be a positive
experience for both and provide positive outcomes for the company.

How is the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce different from the others?

The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce is completely different from other organizations. Our aim is not to fill a room with 100 people and call it viable ‘networking’. There, at best, one gathers a pile of business cards or a list of the attendees. You often stand around feeling like a lost sheep. Afterwards you see a bunch of names, telephone numbers and emails and try to recall who they belong to and what, if any, synergies actually exist. If you are confident in your ability to cold call, you will know how to follow up. Our experience has shown us that the vast majority of people are uncomfortable picking up the phone and making an appointment. Quite simply, relationship building in this way is time consuming, exhausting and unproductive. Read more....


Message From Our Chairman

It’s YOUR economy that matters!

Steven Miller, Chamber Chairman

We’ve just gone through several years of the worst economy that most of us have ever experienced. You need to go back to your grandparents’ time, the Great Depression, to find any comparable time that rivals what we’ve just lived through. The economists say that there is a light at the end of the tunnel … that our economy is “improving” … albeit slowly. All the pundits and talking heads forecast improvement in the business climate this year … slow but steady improvement, at best at a rate of approximately 2 percent. But don’t fool yourself.

Our friends are saying...

Christine’s efforts in building strategic partnership started paying off almost immediately. I met Tanya Helfand, a family law attorney, at one of the Chamber’s meetings. We had breakfast together, learned about our practices, and discussed how issues with employment affect marriages, and vice versa. Within days Tanya referred a client to my firm and I am looking forward to referring clients to her.
