Wetzel-Tyler Business Development Coordinator VISTA
 
 
 
This VISTA Project will serve the Wetzel-Tyler Chamber of Commerce in New Martinsville, WV. The member who serves in this project will launch a new initiative to bring together businesses outside of the downtown core to better collaborate and grow. In Wetzel and Tyler Counties, there are many businesses geographically close, but little collaboration exists. This means there are businesses with shared goals and assets that are operating independently. The initiative will focus on establishing collaborative business clusters led by local business owners to drive mutually-beneficial marketing initiatives. Moreover, this coordination and capacity will enable businesses to take greater advantage of the services of the Chamber. The member will have the opportunity to build relationships with local businesses, facilitate opportunities for them to collaborate and build teams, brainstorm and support new marketing initiatives and events, and communicate the successes of this program. This is a great fit for someone with an interest in business development, marketing, local government, and or a former or budding entrepreneur!
