Everyone knows the importance of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, not just for Memphis but for the world. Not only do they provide sick children and their families a free place to go for treatment, but they also provide thousands of jobs to our community.
The FedEx St. Jude Classic, a fundraising source for St. Jude, also has an impressive economic impact in Memphis.

The sound of a bat connecting with a baseball….
Listening to an organ play the charge…
The smell of a juicy hotdog….
The sound of cheers when someone rounds home plate….
Watching the Memphis Redbirds in AutoZone Park is the perfect way to experience America’s favorite sport.

The Centre Group and the Mid-South Compensation Association have collaborated in producing a Memphis Area Wage Survey for a number of years. This year they've designed an abbreviated survey to provide participants with information regarding actual and planned salary adjustments at Memphis-area employers. They plan to conduct their usual detailed survey again in 2013.

I had the privilege recently to meet with Chamber member, New Tech Packaging’s J.C. Heotis Jr., president, and Mike Mathias, vice president of business development, to find out more about their business. I knew beforehand that they developed packaging for various household names, some you would recognize. I was surprised to learn that they save their customers money by developing more efficient methods of packaging, and because of this, they have become more profitable. Also, New Tech values employees with problem solving and creative skills over a sales background. The way they see it, a good business is having the best customer service.
