to how the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce Manufacturing CoHort can support the membership. Additionally, I would be interesting to share with each member on what resources or opportunities lie within the communities that our manufactures call home. • This year the Manufacture Director would expect to conduct a sequence of check in "one on one" interview with each CoHort Trusted Partner. The focus to these interactions would be to continue to assure that the efforts of the CoHort are meeting the expectation of everyone. Additionally, these interviews will open up discussion on how the Trusted Partner can better communicate with the CoHort membership. Make sure we are all supporting each other • COVID - The world has changed. Are we able to meet and support our membership in a way that is meaningful them? I would like to propose that the CoHort experiment with the concept of creating content that has benefit to the membership and sharing this content in or on a platform that all can have access too. Let's take a look at conducting and producing a series of Podcasts that explore topics of interest to the members. In 2021, let's see if we can publish maybe three to five of these podcasts. We can feature guest spots from our members or feature local talent or resources to deliver meaningful content. • The effort that is represented in the Manufacturing CoHort needs to be shared with a greater regional audience. I would expect that during the 2021 season we will have a minimum of five "touches" to share the message of the CoHort. This can be delivered to City Halls in council meetings, or other city functions that fit, School Board meetings, Broadcast on community tv, write ups in newsletters. This list of possibilities is beyond these suggestions. • The Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce Manufacture CoHort is for manufacturing by manufacturing. The focus is on what needs to be discovered or implemented in a manner that supports your sustained success. Activities not outlined in this document are open to consideration and inclusion in the workplan.
