Reorganization was the name of the game at the North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce general meeting Monday at the North Webster American Legion Post 253.

Members heard about the new committees being formed by the chamber’s board of directors. They are administrative, events, business development, and marketing. Members are urged to join at least one of these.

Stacey Cox was reappointed by the board as treasurer. Richard Owen has resigned from the board of directors.

Dues deadline to be included in the chamber “Community Guide for 2015-2016” is Feb. 13. It is a very effective marketing tool for North Webster and members. Membership applications have been mailed and can also be downloaded at www.northwebster.com.

The annual awards banquet will be held Monday evening, March 2. Nominations are being accepted for Person of the Year, Small Business of the Year and Large Business of the Year. Criteria for Person of the Year is someone who has shown outstanding participation and involvement in the local community, investing themselves in the future of the area without thought of personal gain.
