Benefits of Membership Orientation at Pickering Public Library

Bob Weese of B2B Sales Connections illustrates the point of the need for proper training by way of a visual metaphor. Samantha Brighton of ScotiaMcLeod plays along but was reluctant to fence without experience. Bob was discussing the Chamber eLearning Plan.

There was a strong turn out on Thursday, April 26th at the Pickering Public Library for our Benefits of Membership Orientation. Members and future members joined representatives from a number of the Board of Trade's Benefit Partners and learned how they can take advantage of services offered to APBOT members. The lunch was sponsored by Hardiman Mount & Associates and catered by Special Moments Catering.

In addition to hearing about the great benefits of belonging to the Board of Trade, attendees had the chance to win some very special door prizes. Judy Gaw of Eco Environment Plus won a complimentary invitation to dinner at our Business Links Golf Tournament. Howard Haslett of Legal Shield won free web hosting from Managhan Design Solutions. Elsie Boakya-Yiadom of Danipa Business Systems won free advertising from Metroland Media Group. Nadeem Anwar of Scotiabank won sales books compliments of B2B Sales Connections, Michelle McKellar from U Weight Loss won a $25 gift certificate for the Pickering Town Centre and Debbie Salomon of Durham Trade and Commerce won a roadside emergency kit from Johnson Insurance.

Attendees are told all about the benefits to APBOT membership.

The attentive crowd listens carefully to the presenter.
