Free to Chamber Members

Posted
PARIS - The Paris-Henry County Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with Center Point Business Solutions to offer “Workshop Wednesdays”, a bi-monthly workshop from January through March. Classes begin January 9 and run through March 27, with two sessions per month, and each session lasting from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon at the Chamber.  Please RSVP to reserve your seat, as seating is limited and will be rewarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.  The classes are complimentary to Chamber members.  
 
 “We hope that by providing professional development opportunities like this for our members, we will be able to make an impact on their business, and their lives a little easier” commented Travis McLeese, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. “Bringing these classes to a rural area is also important as many of our business owners and their staff don’t have the extra time to travel to areas where this is provided.”
