I am excited and proud to inform you that I have officially become a member of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce.  Having the opportunity to learn more about my community and having my community learn more about me is really exciting.

So, why is community important?  It was interesting to realize some people feel community is a bad thing; that the term community forces the rejection of the idea of individualism.  But, I disagree.  I'm really hoping that the Chamber community will be a wonderful support mechanism for me and my new business.  It's one of those great tools for learning about others' products and services, as well as learning how others succeed. 

Here's to my new community!
