What makes the Fenton Chamber so great?
I believe any successful organization has a great deal to do with leadership. Our Fenton Chamber is not only innovative, but responsive to the needs of the community. Our Board stays attuned to its mission and is very welcoming to new members.

Favorite aspect of the Fenton Chamber:
Being a part of watching 30 years of history unfold in the city, being able to meet so many wonderful people, and having the opportunity to work with the Board of Directors and members.

Favorite Quotes: "Life is Service, Guide by Love" and "Together we can do more!"

Favorite Movie:  White Christmas

Hobbies and/or interests:  I love being President of St. Clare Hospital Auxiliary. It has grown from 6 to 72 members in 5 years, setting goals for fundraising to increase patient satisfaction. I find great satisfaction in helping other people.

Two things we may not know about you:
- I still live on the farm in Fenton that I was born on 81 years ago.
- I've been active on committees and worked with organizations since I was a child, both internationally and locally.

His methods literally teach people to think differently. 
Donius rose through the ranks of corporate America to become Chairman and CEO of Pulaski Bank in St. Louis. After stepping down as CEO in 2008, he stayed on as Chairman, serving on the board of directors for an additional three years. During that time, he also served a two-year term on the U.S. Federal Reserve Board-TIAC Council in Washington, D.C., with Ben Bernanke as Chairman. 

His first book, Thought Revolution: How to Unlock Your Inner Genius (March 2012, Changing Lives Press) debuted on all the major Best Seller lists including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and Nielsen lists.

Fenton Chamber to Host “Crafting Your Elevator Speech” Workshop

3/23/2013

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, April 10th, the Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce will host a “Crafting YOUR Elevator Speech” Workshop at the Chamber Office inside Maritz South– 1400 South Highway Drive, Suite 99, Fenton MO 63099 – from 8:00am to 11:00am. This one-of-a-kind workshop will be facilitated by Fred Miller, renowned speaker, coach and author of No Sweat Public Speaking: How to Develop, Practice, and Deliver a ‘Knock Your Socks Off’ Presentation… With No Sweat!

We have all had it happen… you are at a chamber meeting, networking event, or seminar, and the leader says, “Before we get started, let’s go around the room and introduce ourselves. Tell us who you are and what you do. Give us your Elevator Speech.” Many of us start sweating when we hear those words because our “Elevator Speech” always seems to be a “work in progress.”

This workshop will show you, floor-by-floor, how to develop a great “Elevator Speech” for all audiences and time considerations. Unlike others, this is truly a hands-on workshop at which you are GUARANTEED to leave with an “Elevator Speech” that you will be proud to deliver!

In the words of Mr. Fred Miller, “Speaking Opportunities are Business, Career and Leadership Opportunities.”

The cost for this event is $65.00. Registration is required. Please contact the Chamber Office at (636) 717-0200 or CLICK HERE to register and pay online.
