Chamber Advantage

WELCOME

We have a lot going on within the Chamber, but to start out I would

like to re-say Thank You to all of our Chamber Members! Our

membership has been on the rise and every time we add a new

member it is another round of excitement! Almost every week we are

adding new members and to us, that is telling us we are doing

something right!

For those of you who are new to the Chamber, we want to let you

know about some things we have coming up and what we have to

offer. We have two Chamber Member Clinics we are offering to our

members exclusively. We have partnered with Franciscan Health and

Wellness for Life. We also have partnered with NFP Insurance to

provide a Tele-Health Program to our members as well. (To find

more information about these clinics or our Tele-Health Program feel

free to give us a call or visit our website.) We are constantly adding

member benefits so please keep in mind, if you would like to offer a

Chamber Member Benefit to other Chamber Members, let us know.

We want to add value to your Chamber Membership.

Coming up, we have our Annual Dinner on May 15, 2019 at the Crawfordsville County Club. Sue Kirkpatrick will be speaking about “Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur”. Tickets will be $35 and you can register on our website at www.crawfordsvillechamber.com/annualdinner.html.

EDUCATION BY SOUTH MONTGOMERY

The Indiana Department of Education has named all Southmont Schools as recipients of the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Award. Gold

Star schools undergo a rigorous process to raise student achievement by creating local community advisory groups that review student data, set

specific student goals and commit to maximizing the time and skills of the school counselor. To qualify for the Gold Star Award, Southmont

Schools submitted an online portfolio with documentation that it meets the nine program standards found in Indiana’s Program Standards for

School Counseling. Additionally, Southmont Schools participated in training sessions during the school year and learned how to implement the

Gold Star School Counseling model. Students, teachers, parents and community members who served on the local School Counseling Advisory

Council also took part in the initiative. This group provided valuable input and feedback as the Gold Star School Counseling initiative was being

developed. With the Gold Star Awards, all of the Southmont School Counseling Programs became eligible for RAMP (Recognized ASCA

Model Program) status. All three elementary schools and Southmont Jr. High were awarded RAMP at the 2018 ASCA National Conference in

Los Angeles. Southmont High School will be recognized with the RAMP Award this summer in Boston at the 2019 ASCA National

Conference.
