It’s not a wedding without a little drama and a lot of love. Della’s bakery in Winston, North Carolina is a landmark baked with love. When Jen, the girl she thinks of as her ‘goddaughter’ asks Della to make her wedding cake, not for one bride but two, it’s hard to follow one of her tried and true recipes. Faith, family and food impact one another in the discovery that love is the key ingredient to any recipe in this timely play from a writer of NBC’s hit “This Is Us.” Contains adult themes and language.

| Mar 5 Webinar: The SECURE Act: What You Need To Know and Why You Need to Know It |
Wheaton Chamber members and guests are invited to participate in this webinar on “The SECURE Act: What You Need To Know and Why You Need to Know It.” Recent legislation was passed in December 2019 to address the startling statistics of how little Americans have saved for retirement. The SECURE Act, “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019,” aims to address these challenges. Business owners and employees can benefit from hearing how these changes will affect them.
Brian Eisenmenger, CPA, MST, CVA, is a partner at Mathieson, Moyski, Austin & Co., LLP in Wheaton. He has already addressed nearly 3,000 accounting professionals on the topic of the SECURE Act, and now he has adapted his message for Wheaton Chamber members and guests—both business owners and employees.
A frequent lecturer for Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of business information services, Brian is also adjunct faculty in the graduate school accounting program at Northern Illinois University. His deep expertise and engaging style bring an immediacy to the issue of how and why this new government legislation affects each and every one of us. |

| Mar 23 Seven Steps to Ignite Sales Growth |
Why Have a Selling System?
There is a fundamental disconnect between traditional selling and how it is received by your prospects. The truth is that traditional selling tactics delay or doom sales opportunities. Why not re-engineer your selling process to capitalize on today's buying patterns? Now is the time to turn your sales performance around! Systems work in manufacturing, engineering, technology and many other professions and industries. Guess what...they work in sales, too.
You Will Learn How to:
-
Fill your pipeline with real opportunities
-
Implement a systematic, repeatable selling system
-
Shorten your sales cycle; stop chasing “let me think it over"
-
Reduce reliance on “lowest price” to close the sale
