EXCITING NEW CHANGES COMING TO CCBE IN 2011!
http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Exciting-New-Changes-Coming-to-CCBE-.html?soid=1101868815231&aid=1u_9hOf_eMI
CCBE says goodbye to our Weekly E-News Publication and Hello to CCBE's Construction Connection
One positive outcome of the bad economy is that businesses are looking at ways to improve how they do business. In this philosophy CCBE has reviewed what we do and how we do it.
Any of you who have been a CCBE member for any amount of time have learned that CCBE is always looking for innovative ways to service our members. One of the most important services that we offer our members is top notch communication tools. We are excited to announce that on 1/3/11 we are launching a new Daily Email - CCBE's Construction Connection.
The Construction Connection will be a marriage of CCBE's weekly E-News and daily Morning Joe. CCBE has contracted with a new service provider that will allow CCBE to offer a more useful product.
By providing information in a simple electronic format to our members we can reach more members quickly and efficiently. All of the same information will be provided in an easier user friendly format.
The Construction Connection is a daily email that will contain the content previously included in the E-News and Morning Joe developed to provide our members with a snapshot of the contents to allow the viewer to decide what he/or she would like to review. Plus we will now have the ability to archive the articles for future reference for when you are looking for information on a specific topic.
We will continue to produce CCBE's E-News for several weeks to allow you time to become more familiar with the new electronic newsletter "CCBE's Construction Connection".
Because we are changing email platforms to launch this new service, there may be residual effects. So, if on 1/3/10 or after you do not receive the Construction Connection, please contact our office and we will work with you to determine the cause of this problem.
Thanks for your continued support. We wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.
