"Could You Use a Coach?" Tomorrow at 8:30 AM (Flagler Room)
Just as athletes rely on coaches, many business professionals are turning to executive coaches to improve productivity, morale and effectiveness in the work place. If you've ever wondered how you could benefit from some coaching sessions, this session is for you. Ann Marie Gaus will join us to talk about business coaching and what it can do for small business owners and their employees. Prior to owning her own company, Ann Marie Gaus was a Director of Human Resources for 3M, a Fortune 100 company based in St. Paul, MN. Coaching is a method of professional development frequently in larger corporations. In this session, Ann Marie will answer most frequently asked questions about coaching such as: What is Business coaching ? What does a coach do? When would I seek coaching? What kinds of topics are addressed? How do I find a coach? What should I look for in a coach? Ann Marie will also hold a question and answer session. Join us for this timely topic! Cost is $10 for members and $15 for guests. Please RSVP in advance by calling 386.437.0106.

Palm Coast Chamber Seeks Scholarship Candidates

The Palm Coast Chamber of Commerce is seeking applications from local high school seniors as part of its 2012 Educational Scholarship Program. Each year, the Palm Coast Chamber awards a $1,000 educational scholarship to a high-performing graduating senior to help offset his or her near-term academic endeavors. All high school seniors in Flagler County may apply for the scholarships, and will be evaluated based on the written responses to essay questions, reference letters and economic need. The application deadline is March 31, and scholarship winners will be announced in May.

In addition to the annual scholarships awarded by the Palm Coast Chamber, the Flagler Chamber Foundation awards two $500 scholarships to residents enrolled in vocational programs each year. For more information about the scholarships or the Flagler Chamber Foundation, call Rebecca DeLorenzo at 386.437.0106.
