Membership matters and the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce will be reaching out to the business community Sept. 22-23 with a membership event that organizers say is like none other.

During the event, current members will volunteer to sign up new chamber members and create a greater community awareness of the important role of the chamber in the regional community.

“The chamber is about building our community through business,” said Lisa Skari, board chair. “Growing our network through this membership event is how we are helping to build a stronger Federal Way.”

The membership event is organized by the professional firm Your Chamber Connection and features event guru Jimmy Cusano. Their specialty is high energy membership campaigns that allow volunteers to conduct “out of the box” membership fun while building the membership base.

“It’s about business,” Cusano said. “And the Chamber of Commerce is the business community. Our events bring community leaders together in a competitive, fun setting to tell the Chamber story. When others hear about everything the chamber does, there is always a great deal of enthusiasm and support for the chamber.”

Chamber President Becca Martin said, “Our members are the heroes who get up every day and unlock their doors and tell the world that Federal Way is open for business. Our business community has a super power and it’s the Chamber of Commerce.”

The chamber carried the superhero theme when it announced the membership event at the August luncheon.

“At the chamber, we believe in truth, justice and the Federal Way,” she said.

“We’d love to see you,” Martin said. “And capes are not required.”
