"the latest: weekly news you need to know" is a weekly e-newsletter of the Greater Richmond Chamber. "the latest" features regional news and Chamber member announcements relevant to the business community, as well as upcoming Chamber events. The e-newsletter is mailed on Wednesdays to the entire Chamber membership and other interested professionals, totaling over 6000 recipients each week.
The goal of "the latest" is to keep our members informed about the Greater Richmond Region business community and to provide visibility for our members among one another. There are three ways members can leverage the latest to share information about their businesses: 1) member news submissions, 2) member profiles, and 3) banner advertising. Please review the following requirements for each opportunity.
If you have additional questions about "the latest," please contact Susan Bollinger, Marketing & Communications Manager.

If you would like your content to link directly to your website, please provide hyperlinks accordingly. Member news will be published as space permits. Incomplete submissions will not be published.

IMPORTANT: Our online submission tool is text only. If you would like to include a hyperlink in your announcement, please be sure to type it out. For example, type the URL like this, http://www.grcc.com instead of embedding the link, like this, "visit us online." When you copy and paste your content into our submission tool, "embedded" hyperlinks will be lost. You must type it in.

Placement is for members only and is not guaranteed. Reservations for the section must be made in advance. Each member company can only be profiled once, so strategy in timing may be important.
