Over the past few years the Lee’s Summit Chamber membership base has grown to be one of the largest in the metropolitan area. In fact, we were pleased to recently learn that we maintained our rank of the third largest chamber by the Kansas City Business Journal.

Here at the Chamber we strive to keep the Lee’s Summit business community at the top by improving and implementing new programs and benefits for our members.

As the champion of emerging businesses, the Chamber provides an array of programs and events for our nearly 1,000 members to increase the visibility of their business. We provide opportunities to meet and work with the best and brightest leaders in business, government and education.

So far this year the Chamber has

successfully added new activities to our already busy calendars. During the spring of 2012, the Chamber took its first organized trip to Washington D.C. Our delegation spent time meeting with senators and representatives and engaging with US Chamber officials. One month later, over 60 members joined us as we took our annual train trip to Jefferson City to meet with our State elected officials.

Still to come in 2012, we look forward to rolling out our entrepreneurial platform to grow and foster new businesses in Lee’s Summit. Stay tuned for more details on our exciting Boost Lee’s Summit program.

Of course the Chamber continues to provide the services that our members have come to expect. We continue to sponsor the Leadership Lee’s Summit program, which is a 9-month program

How to Work a Room for Fun and Profit

Sadly, there are but a few individuals who are able to draw people to them and build long-term relationships. They have unique style, charisma, chutzpa and a flair for the dramatic. But, primarily, they can say it well, whenever they have to…especially when it comes to meeting people in networking situations. They’ve developed the ability to project credibility, at a moment’s notice. Attend this session and learn these “easy to acquire and implement” techniques of the FULL VOICE™

Vocal Communication Methodism. Once you do, you’ll be able to begin conversations and keep them going, get others to take you seriously and get them to take appropriate action more readily.

Members Making Waves

Michael D. Blau, a Lee’s Summit resident and Chamber member, qualified as a “Championship” agent by Farmers Insurance for his outstanding overall performance.

“Blau is among the best of the best at

Farmers, who have achieved a high sales volume for auto, home, life and business policies, while maintaining high client retention and profitability”, said Farmers head of distribution, Mhayse Samalya. “Through his excellent customer service, Farmers continues to be his customer’s first choice for their insurance needs. All of us at Farmers are proud of

Blau’s commitment and service to his community.”

As part of this special recognition, Blau attended a “Championship” conference last month at the Waldorf Astoria in Naples, Florida. Only 205 agents earned the distinct honor to attend this conference.

Blau Attends “Championship” Conference

Equity Bank Plans Large Merger with Lee’s Summit-based Bank

Equity Bank and Lee’s Summit-based First Community Bank plan to merge, creating a $1.3 billion-asset institution.

The merger, announced early in June and pending regulatory approval, would take place early in the first quarter. The combined entity will have 30 branch offices throughout Kansas and Missouri.

Although Equity Bank is the slightly smaller entity, with $594.55 million in assets as of March 31, both banks will operate under the Equity Bank name.

The Value of Chamber MembershipWe have been members of the Lee’s Summit Chamber since 1990. Shortly after we joined, we connected with Lee’s Summit R-7 School District regarding their elevators.

Lee’s Summit and the School District have grown exponentially. We have installed over 10 new elevators in their new schools and presently service 26 units. This is one of our larger service contracts in the Metro area. We work hard to keep them satisfied.

Several other new installations by Chamber members include:• Paradise Park • Hope House• Mechanical Breakdown Protection• We service about 13 other elevators (some

we installed) in Lee’s Summit by people that found out about us through the Chamber.

Thanks for the business!! We like to do business with Chamber members.
