Check out the Entrepreneurs Club; our robust Fall series will kick-off in September.

 The South Haven Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the Entrepreneurs Club (E-Club) will kick-off it’s three month Fall series on Thursday, September 9 at 6:00pm at Lake Michigan College – South Haven Campus. 

The Entrepreneurs Club, known to many as the “E-Club”, is a great resource for individuals who are interested in starting a business and those who are seasoned in business.  With a desire to foster an entrepreneurial culture in the greater South Haven area, Rachel Vochaska, executive director for the South Haven Area Chamber of Commerce, believes that the regional business climate can be strengthened through the E-Club.  “E-Club meetings are convened by the Chamber of Commerce as a means of providing a support network to our entrepreneurs and encouraging peer mentoring and learning.”  The E-Club is just one way the Chamber connects entrepreneurs and those wanting to start a new business with an array of resources available in the region for small business development.
 
An exciting E-Club series is planned for the Fall that will address the fundamentals of being in business for the first time and will also assist individuals already in business in growing their bottom line.  Join us as follows:
