The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce held its first bimonthly Member Orientation event of the year on Jan. 11 at the Brooklyn Public Library Business Library, 280 Cadman Plaza West, Downtown Brooklyn.  A record-breaking 56 new and veteran Members attended the presentation and networking breakfast.

Senior Librarian Maud Andrews-Quintana introduced Sharon Silbermann of Shamann Productions, the $15,000 First Prize winner of the 2006 PowerUP! Business Plan Competition, who received a complimentary one-year Brooklyn Chamber membership as part of the prize package.  Please visit http://www.biz.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/ for details about the 2007 competition. 

After the morning’s presentation, several Members reviewed ibrooklyn.com and created their free Brooklyn Chamber Member Web pages at the EZWeb Workshop.  The next Member Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, Mar. 22.  Please join us!
