Amid a slowdown in new membership at the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce, they are still focused on collaborating with current members in a number of ways.  They have worked to promote scholarships to Taylorville High School students as well as job opportunities with current member businesses.

For businesses considering joining the Chamber, Board President Krystal Baker says there are many ways the GTCC promotes both itself and member businesses. 

The latest member updates primarily revolve around youth.  They include scholarships for graduating students and youth programs at the YMCA. 

The Chamber is working to help member businesses hire new staff.  They organized a hiring event for Kemmerer Village on May 14 and are promoting openings at other businesses, as well. 

Baker also reminds the community about its Spring Swing Golf Outing.  The event is scheduled for Friday, June 5 at Lake Shore Golf Course in Taylorville.
