CHAMBER REMOTES

WHAT IS A CHAMBER REMOTE?

The Remotes is a program with a select number of storytellers whose goal is to extend the reach and engagement of the Chamber’s mission through social media, blogging, member interviews, and more.

Each Remote is tasked with using their platform to tell stories of our membership through their eyes. They attend events as an extension of the Chamber marketing team.

Whether you call them influencers, content creators, or Remotes… we know they’re storytellers!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Remotes use the Chamber Membership Directory to select businesses they’d like to visit and do some of the following:

Photos on location
Video Interview
Product/Service Review
Blog/Podcast
Other social media

Plus, it’s FREE to members!

I learned a new word today! 🙌🏼
Barre- A ballet inspired workout based on pilates.

Have you had a chance to make it out to Balance Yoga + Barre yet?? I hadn’t until today & I think I’m hooked before even taking a class! 🌿

Carson told me today that as she grew from being a student of Balance to manager, she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

“I started at the front desk…and completed my yoga teaching training because I didn’t know what I didn’t know.”

Talk about “inspiring…to be the best version of yourself”!

Balance offers not only yoga and barre classes- they’ve recently started a balletone class on Fridays!
Balletone - A version of barre that does not utilize equipment and focuses on cardio to discover movements with small muscles you may not be used to.
Interested? Try 5 classes for $5! (I signed up. 😌) OR!
SPRING INTO BALANCE and sign up for a membership before March 31st to get your first month free! 🌞

Thank you to Carson for allowing me the time to sit and chat! She is a lovely person and I can tell just from those few minutes how big her heart is! 💜

What’s an Open Circuit?

Open Circuits are action teams that focus on one of five topics: Downtown Wichita Falls, Modern School Facilities, Intern Wichita Falls, Bike-Friendly Community, and Lake Wichita. With their Open Circuit team, members monitor their assigned community topic and update the rest of The Circuit quarterly at the team program. To successfully complete this task, members may be required to attend relevant events, forums, meetings, etc. and prepare a statement to deliver at the quarterly team program

What’s a Closed Circuit?

Closed Circuits refer to each Circuit member's plan of action and requirements include: attending one official city or county event and writing a one-page summary of the proceedings annually (city council, school board, county commissioners’ court, 4a board or 4b board).

How much does it cost to join The Circuit?

There is no cost to join The Circuit!

What are the age requirements to join The Circuit?

Members must be between the ages of 18 and 40.

What's the time requirement for members?

Members can expect to dedicate around 1-3 hours per month to various programs. This time can include one-on-ones with a mentor (1 hr/quarter), monthly programs (1hr/month), Chamber professional development programs (3-4 hours/quarter), open circuits (1-3 hours/quarter) and closed circuits (1-3 hours/year).

What are the age requirements to be a mentor?

There is no age requirement to be a mentor, but a minimum of at least 5-10 years of specific industry expertise is preferred.

What's the time requirement for mentors?

Mentors can expect to spend at least one hour per mentee per quarter in a one-on-one setting, to take place at the convenience of both the mentor and mentee. The mentor/mentee relationship is a one-year commitment, so mentors can expect to commit four hours per year.

How long are Circuit Board terms?

Board members serve one-year terms that run January through December of each year.

How are members matched to their mentor?

Mentors and members are matched together based off professional compatibility using a unique weighted matching system that takes into consideration industry, experience level, and areas of interest. This information is gathered when members and mentors join for the program through the registration form. After the initial assessment is finished, each match is reviewed bi-weekly by an internal match committee meeting. This committee will also review special cases, such as mismatches, ties and multiple matches to the same mentor.

How is the mentor matching system’s weights broken down?

When conducting the matching process, industries are weighted at one point, experience level is matched at two points and each of the three areas of interested at weighted at three points each. A match can receive up to twelve points total between the three above listed categories. A match is considered compatible at a 67% match or higher, which is eight out of twelve points.

How long will it take for me to be matched with a mentor?

New members can expect to be matched with their mentor within 10-15 business days after they register for the Circuit. Sometimes a new member will not have an obvious mentor match when they first join, promoting our mentor matching committee to actively recruit a quality match from the community for this new member. If this happens, the new member will be updated as new information is received.

Circuit Mentor Guidelines

Being a Circuit Mentor gives you the opportunity to be a part of the future of Wichita Falls by cultivating and shaping our future leaders right now. If you’re looking for a way to give back to the community, this is it! Here’s what our mentors can expect:

Meet with mentees a minimum of once a quarter.
Hold all confidential information in trust and strict confidence.
Assist mentees with professional growth and development by offering leading questions and advice, eliminating barriers, making connections, and being a reference when appropriate.
Maintain a professional relationship with the mentee.
Be flexible and provide the necessary support and advice to help the mentee succeed.
Make a one-year commitment to being matched with a mentee.
Inform the Circuit Board of any difficulties or areas of concern that may arise in the mentorship.

About the Circuit

Beginning in 2012, Young Professionals of Wichita Falls (YPWF) was formed to offer innovative ways for professionals, 18-40 years old, in the Wichita Falls area to expand their professional network.

In 2019, YPWF determined that it wanted to transition the focus of its organization from social interaction to professional, leadership, and community development. The Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce helped YPWF restructure into the organization now known as The Circuit.

Three Pillars:

The Circuit is focused on developing emerging leaders through mentorship, community engagement, and personal growth.

Mentorship: Every member is matched to an industry expert mentor. This professional relationship is formed on confidence and allows for mentees to receive one-on-one advice and direction from a trusted resource.

Professional Development: The Circuit creates leaders. Circuit members are able to attend exclusive Chamber events such as BOSS, Wake Up Wichita Falls, Business After Hours, and exclusive Circuit programs to work continuously on professional (and personal) development.

Community Involvement: Circuit members will be actively engaged in Wichita Falls by attending and summarizing public meetings, called “Closed Circuits,” and participating in action teams to gather current events information on community-based initiatives, including Bike Wichita Falls, Lake Wichita, Intern Wichita Falls, Modern Schools, and Downtown Wichita Falls, called “Open Circuits.”

The Circuit is led by a volunteer board and is a program of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce.
