Jeff Rea is everywhere while he actively serves as the President & CEO of both the South Bend Regional Chamber and the The Greater Niles Chamber. In addition to running both Chambers, he also host a local TV program among several other activities that he is able to leverage as he talks about his Chambers.

While Jeff may be more of the exception than the rule when it comes to raising your Chamber’s profile in your community, he does cover several great ways to help your organization and your members.

One tip that he shared was to try to drive the news cycle as much as possible. This allows for news outlets to look to your organization for information and you highlight your members who fit within certain news stories.
