The agenda for this month’s meeting will include the following:
 
11:00am - 11:30   Informal networking. Bring your enthusiasm and business cards! 
 
11:30 - 12:00  You will have an opportunity to introduce yourself and tell others about your business.
 
12:00 - 1pm   A special presentation from the WSHCC President, Kathy Baxter:  "What is Holism?"
 
We are all supporters of the Holistic Chamber of Commerce, but do we all mean the same thing when we say holistic?  What does it mean to be a holistic business person?  How does a holistic business look different from a traditional business?  Do we have values and practices in common that differentiate us?
 
As we understand more clearly what we mean by the term "holistic" we can do a better job of walking our holistic values out into the community, helping others to see and understand why you would want to seek out a  holistic business.
 
Please join us for a discussion of what holism means to you, and we can join together to carry the holistic message out into our communities.

                               ABOUT THE CHAMBER

What do we do? This is an organization for business people of all professions who are committed to a holistic approach to business and life. The purpose of WSHCC is to help holistically-oriented businesses and individuals support and help one another to develop their businesses and practices.

Much like other Chambers of Commerce we will provide business development support for holistic businesses and individuals through various meetings and seminars. We also want to create an increased holistic community presence through the development of a speaker’s bureau and provide a forum in which business people of all professions can be supported and affirmed in their commitment to a holistic approach to business and life. We also plan to engage in other activities related to supporting a holistic approach to life and business as well as to educating people as to the benefits of a holistic lifestyle.

This is our vision

• We see every individual and business using the power of their consumerism to create a sustainable economy.

• We support a shift in perception surrounding competition, seeing it as a tool to refine one’s level of service rather than a source of fear.

• We create and support educational opportunities aimed at empowering our membership to create abundance, prosperity and profitability in business.

• The products and services of our membership become accessible to the mainstream consumer through educational seminars created for the general public.
We have a speaker’s bureau composed of our members who are willing and able to make presentations to the general public at various meetings and gatherings.

• We create productive networking and marketing opportunities for our members through events, media and community outreach.

• Our membership embodies integrity, trust and impeccability in all areas of business and this will result in the eventual elimination of greed and self-interest in the American business community.

• Every member of the WSHCC participates in seeing their dream for a fundamental shift in business practices worldwide become a reality by allowing their personal transformation to move into their businesses.

• We grow individually and as a community, out of fear and into love. We move through all areas of our lives in peace and beauty. We conduct our business with honor and grace, bless our clients, our competitors, and ourselves, and as we prosper, our planet and all her species prosper as well.

Membership is open to all businesses who share our vision:
