Member News Submissions

Please fill out the following form for your news updates to be considered for Membership Matters or email press releases to the Director of Communications & Events, Kaytee Lorentzen at klorentzen@chamberbloomington.org.

Member News submissions will be shared in two places:

The upcoming Membership Matters newsletter (if the date for your event passes before it is sent out, it will not be included)
The Chamber's Member News Blog

Membership Matters is sent on the 1st and 15th of each month unless those dates fall on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. Then, Membership Matters will be sent on the next business day. Content will only be accepted until the 10th or 26th.

Your submission will be posted in full on the Member News Blog and then the title will be the information published in Membership Matters with a link to that blog post.

In an effort to make Membership Matters more readable and to ensure your submissions will be included:

All material must be submitted by the 10th and 26th of each month.
Submitted content should be timely and relevant (ex. special events, awards / recognition, company announcements, relevant business-related news, etc
Content should be written in the third person (avoid 'I, we, us")
Content should be informational, not simply self-promotional, please.
Photos and logos may be used on the Membership Matters blog.
We want to promote your event, but direct solicitations for sponsorships, paid advertising or political endorsements will not be included in any publication.
Event submissions will only be published once. Please consider submitting your event to the Community Calendar through your Member Portal.
When submitting an event, please include the date in your title of the post.
Our Membership Matters announcements are exclusive benefits for Chamber members.
Although the Chamber will make every effort to include all relevant and timely member- submitted content, inclusion of content is at the sole discretion of the Chamber. Submitted content is subject to approval by the Chamber.
Submitted content is subject to edits and revisions without notification to or approval from submitter.
Due to space limitations, please understand that not all submitted content will be published.
