As the New Year Begins, it's time for membership renewals and member recruitment for the Greater Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce. Vonda McConell from the Shelbyville Chamber said their chamber has grown to have more than 180 members, and it continues to grow. She said they are there to use social media and email to make sure people find out about the businesses in town and the services they offer, and the Shelbyville Chamber can't help local businesses unless they commit to being a member.

The new year also brings new board members for the Shelbyville Chamber. McConnell said their executive board has about the same people but they have changed positions around. They have a new president, a new VP, treasurer, and secretary, and still have 13 total board members.

McConnell appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show live from our Shelbyville Studios.
