The board has agreed to have a spot on our front page website that features member's businesses. In the near future, I will be looking for business logos to post online. We feel this is a good way to give free advertising to our companines and to let people know who we represent. This might intrigue new potential members who would be interested in networking with us.
An example of what the ad would look like:
My intention is the ads would rotate like a slide show and feature many businesses. If you would like to participate, please send me your company logo, otherwise, I will find one on the web. If you want to OPT out, please send me an email requesting not to participate by August 15.

Nigeria is the last polio-endemic country in Africa. The continent is poised to reach its own first full year without any illness from the virus on 11 August.
