ACES awards
program more
important than ever
The economy has been
tough lately, but all
that does is make the
annual ACES awards
program that much more
important. The ACES
awards recognize
business achievements,
such as growth,
investment, industry
awards, and the like,
and this year we really
want to make sure we
hear from you about the
good things you have
accomplished over the
past year. It's not
easy to expand, let
alone hold your own, in
this economy, but we
know many area
businesses have done
just that.
So take a look at this
online nomination form
and send us information
about YOUR
accomplishments so we
can recognize you at the
Spring Break event on
March 19. Remember,
self nominations are
encouraged and past
winners are eligible
every year. The ACES
awards program is
sponsored by the
Muskingum Growth
Partnership.
Here's a list of past
year's recipients
for your
information...look at
what they did and you
might get an idea for
something that YOUR
business did that is
award-worthy.

Over 10,000 searches
online for member
businesses
One important benefit of
chamber membership is
the expanded listing you
get on the Chamber's
online business
directory at
www.zmchamber.com. More
than 10,000 people
searched this directory
for businesses in 2009,
and member pages were
viewed more than 76,000
times, so it is
important that you make
sure your information is
complete.
To learn how to do this
watch this straight
forward video on
updating your business
information, expanding
your online listing, and
publishing it to the
chamber's web
directory. You get a
200 word business
description, photos, and
links to your own
website, so be sure to
watch this video and
expand your listing to
get maximum benefit.
You can even change your
map listing coordinates
to be sure people can
find your place of
business when using a
GPS. And maybe best of
all, there is no
additional cost to
members for this
service.

idea?
The Muskingum County

A panel of judges will

higher. The Big Idea
Contest is designed to
encourage new and

innovative idea or
invention to compete for
cash and business
services to help launch
