Events and Programs
The Chamber is gratified to provide the following programs and
events to the business community of the Collierville area:
The Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner - - The annual dinner
features a prominent keynote speaker addressing a large number
of business, community and government leaders of Collierville
and Shelby County and recognizing the contributions of the
Chamber’s members and volunteers. In addition, the selection of
the “Person of the Year” is formally announced.
Business After Hours - - Business After Hours is the best
after-work networking event available. BAH is actually hosted by
our members and held at their companies’ facilities. The event
offers attendees the opportunity to view the offices of a
different company at each of the year’s quarterly networking
events. These events include hors d’oeuvres and beverages and
have no attendance fee.
General Membership Lunch Meetings - - Held on the second
Wednesday of the month, this is the opportunity for more than
170 members to interact with others from the business community
while also hearing speakers on topics of great interest.
New Member Welcome Breakfast - - Each member will be invited to
a New Member Welcome Breakfast during the first quarter after
joining. During this orientation, new members will be introduced
to the Chamber staff, meet other new members, and become more
familiar with the opportunities available to members through
membership.
Seminars - - Held throughout the year, seminars are a valuable
means to meet other members with similar interests while at the
same time gather essential information to help your business
succeed. If you are attending the same seminar as another
member, chances are that you are both experiencing similar needs
in your businesses. Networking could help you find additional
solutions. Watch for seminar notifications in your newsletter,
ChamberWorks, and on the calendar of events on the World Wide
Web, at colliervillechamber.com.
Business Expo - - Held each October, this Expo is
filled with exhibits that interest members and non-members
alike. This heavily trafficked event is both informative and
enjoyable. As an exhibitor you can display information and
products from your business to the general public. As an
attendee you have a vast number of other members with which to
acquaint yourself. Visit

Golf Tournament - - This corporate golf outing is a
super-successful annual event. Participants of this 4-person
shotgun scramble start enjoy a great lunch and special awards.
This golf classic offers the business community the opportunity
to expand business ties and is designed to bring together the
area’s businesses and associates for an outing of fun and
relaxation. Non-players are welcome to attend.
Leadership Collierville - - A non-profit program founded by the
Collierville Chamber of Commerce in 1994. Now led by their own
board of directors, its purpose is to attract and inform a
diverse sector of the community regarding Collierville’s health,
business opportunities, educational needs and related issues.

the regular school budget. The organization provides recognition

who utilize imaginative teaching techniques to directly benefit
students. |
