Derek Taylor for Elevate Marketing Matches

Speaker: Derek Taylor, Benjamin F. Edwards

Derek Taylor: So Pam and I started talking a few weeks ago about possible sponsorship opportunities for the elevate campaign that the chamber is doing right now. And we started talking about Seven Hills rotary and Pam and I are both members of Seven Hills. And we just started brainstorming and looking at the different events at the chamber host and seeing if there was something that lined up with um one of our initiatives and the leadership Rome is an event that our program that is very well known in the community and a lot of our own members have gone through it in the past. And so it was something um with us in terms of looking to potentially increase membership here in the next few years, we just felt like people who are going through leadership Rome would likely be great candidates for an organization like Seven Hills rotary. So it really lined up with something that uh we think is gonna help, help us and it helps the Chamber in sponsoring an event that they do in the community. And so we feel like it's just one of those things that will be great for both parties.
