The Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry has kicked off its fall membership driving with special deals for new members. There are also prizes for current members who bring in a new member.

The chamber is also putting on “Embrace the New Marketplace” workshop where a speaker will be talking about ways to improve a business Web site’s presence. There are four free sessions, which will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at the BIA building in the Irongate area. The sessions are at 7 a.m., 9:30 a.m., noon and 2:30 p.m.

The chamber also has a Business-After-Business event on Thursday, Nov. 19 at the downtown Bank of the Pacific office (100 Grand Ave., near Henderson Books). The event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It’s a networking event which will give potential new members a chance to learn more about the chamber and its members.
