General Membership Luncheons

Featured Presenter: As a member, you may apply to be a featured presenter at the GML's. The focus of your presentation must be informational or educational to the Fairbanks business community, and clearly illustrate their interests/benefits in the matter. The spot is 20 minutes long plus an optional 5 more minutes for Q & A.
To be considered for a 20-minute presenation please download the Speaker-Spotlight Request Application.  The completed application may be submitted by mail, fax or e-mailed to Lisa.Cassino@FairbanksChamber.org. The form is then submitted to the Programs Committee for evaluation, and scheduling if accepted.

5-Minute Spotlight & 30-Second Announcements: Members may also request a 5-minute spotlight for presenting information about new chamber members, as well as promoting new products and /or services. The 5-minute spotlight is used to promote business and non-events related issues. For event announcements, or shorter promotional opportunities, members can request a 30-second announcement spot. There are four of these available per GML. Both the 5-minute spotlight and 30-second announcement spaces are typically booked 2-months in advance.
The applications for these spots are the same as for the featured presenter and can be downloaded here Speaker-Spotlight Request Application. These applications are accepted and scheduled at the discretion of Chamber staff.

Introductions: At the start of every GML, members are given the opportunity to introduce guests. You may introduce a potential new member, a new staff member a company colleague, or any person important to you.

New and Renewing Members: In the beginning part of GMLs, any new members and recently renewing members are recognized by announcement of their name or business name.

Table Flyers: As a member of the Chamber, you are able to leave marketing materials, such as flyers and coupons, on each of the dining tables and the "flyer table" at the GMLs. Items should be placed on the tables prior to the start of the luncheon (we suggest about ½ hour). Members often take flyers from the tables when they leave, but don't be discouraged by leftovers: members also often read the flyers while at their tables and put the information directly into their day planners rather than taking the flyer with them. In our experience, about 50 flyers will provide sufficient coverage of the dining room with another 15 placed at the "flyer table."

Door Prizes: Members may donate prizes to be given away during the Chamber Pot drawings. Doing so gets your business acknowledge as a donor in the ChamberLine Newsletter, in addition to your business name being announced as the prize's donor when it is awarded. Please submit the prizes at least a week in advance of the GML you wish for it to be presented.

Membership and Ambassadors Committee: For those members who choose to belong to the Membership and Ambassadors Committee, promotion and visibility of yourself and your organization is available through volunteer positions such as greeters, announcers, chamber pot facilitators, ticket taker, and ticket sales available at GML. These volunteer positions are only available to the members of this committee.  If you are interested in becoming a member of this committee, please email Michelle.Gibson@FairbanksChamber.org.
