Apr 11    Industry Council
INVITATION ONLY - Contact Paige@FayetteChamber.org for more information

TOPIC: For the entire year, Industry Council will focus on 6S Workplace Organization. 6S programs provide the framework for manufacturing and industrial operations to improve housekeeping, standardize processes, increase efficiencies and reduce accidents. 6S programs may fail by design and/or deployment, resulting in a lower return on the resource investment.

Each Industry Council meeting in 2018 will focus on one of the "S" methodologies - SORT, SET IN ORDER, SHINE, STANDARDIZE, SUSTAIN, SAFETY with discussion to help resolve your 6S challenges. We are pleased to partner with Larry Alford of Georgia Tech?s Enterprise Innovation Institute for this series. Larry and his team will be on hand at each meeting to lead the group in understanding and fine-tuning these processes with attendees sharing best practices or challenges in each of these 6S areas.

SCHEDULE:  Beginning in February, Industry Council will meet bi-monthly on the second Wednesday of the month from 7:30 - 9:00 a.m. The location will change from meeting to meeting so that we can showcase different industries and participate in tours at each meeting location.

Apr 17    Read to Lead Business Book Club
You've just read a great business book and you want to share what you've learned.  What better way to not only share that enthusiasm but get a more in-depth understanding of the book from a variety of viewpoints?  Or maybe you have grand intentions to read a great business book but need a little motivation to get started. Maybe reading with a group would get you going or at least expose you to new ideas, just in case you don't finish reading the book.
 
We have the answer! Join us for lunch on April 17, the Fayette Chamber as we launch Read to Lead, a business-focused book club.  The first book will be The Go-Giver written by Bob Burg and John David Mann. Kim Schnoes, 2017 Fayette Chamber chair, will be leading the discussion. So grab the book at the Fayette County library through the Pines system or shop local at a Fayette County books store.  If you don't get a chance to read it, don't let it deter you from attending! The format and discussion will be structured to provide a learning experience for all attendees.
 
Bring your own lunch for no charge or order a boxed lunch in advance for $10.00. 
Select either Registration Only (free) or Registration & Box Lunch ($10/pay online).
