iCea iDea of the week:  Great Programming Idea

1/20/2023

0 Comments

 
Here is a program coming up this week in Hamilton County and info was found on the Noblesville Chamber website.

With bordering states legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, the patchwork of laws that exist, and federal law that still criminalizes marijuana, many employers are left wondering what they can prohibit and test for in the workplace.Gibson and Barnes & Thornburg LLP have resources to help you tackle this issue.
Attendees will hear perspectives from safety compliance, human resources professionals and an employment law attorney on:
  • How to manage the evolving risks related to your drug and alcohol policies;
  • How state laws legalizing recreational or medical marijuana impact your policies and practices;
  • The process of developing practical policies and practices to address these issues; and
  • Different state laws that have legalized marijuana, focusing on Midwest states.
This topic could be duplicated and hosted by Chambers across the state to assist employers dealing with this issue.  For more info, reach out to Bob DuBois, IOM, President of the Noblesville Chamber, with questions.

iCea iDea of the Week:  Shop Local Incentives

11/4/2022

0 Comments

 
A new shop local program launched in Warrick County last month and it is projected to put near $1 million in the local economy this holiday season. The program operates by offering digital e-gift cards through Yiftee and buy one get one offers to shoppers patronizing local businesses. The program is only available to shoppers within Warrick County, and is good at businesses within the county. Using money received from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grants, the money and deals will help to offset inflation and higher costs often associated with shopping locally.

Instant Feedback from the Leadership Team

Here's a great idea from Jack Russell, CP, President & CEO of OneZone Chamber of Commerce. At his Board planning session this week, Jack developed a Mentimeter to get immediate, interactive feedback from Board leaders. Jack had previously conducted this same quiz with the staff professionals and shared that report with the Board. What a great tool that can be incorporated and customized (for free!) with any size chamber as you strive to set direction for the organization.  Here's a summary of the questions asked through the OneZone Chamber quiz.

iCea iDea of the Week: Jasper Celebrated as National Strong Towns Winner

10/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Jasper will be celebrated next week as the 2022 Strongest Town for a national contest held earlier this year.  Charles Marohn, Strong Towns President, will be visiting Jasper on October 12 to present the award.

One of Jasper’s great strengths is its decision to form the Heart of Jasper, a diverse group of organizations that leverages existing assets, transforms those in need, and instills new energy through creative programs and collaborative leadership. The town is always careful to listen to its residents and to build community engagement, but also minds its financial health with its solid Impact Jasper community investment plan. We hope others will look to Jasper as an example of what it means to build lasting strength and resilience in their communities.
For more information, contact Nancy Eckerle, Executive Director of the Jasper Chamber
