Joint Chamber Luncheon Brings 100+ Professionals Together for Annual Event

Kelley Long, Alyssa Saas, Brent Long

Every year, the Covington Chamber and Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber bring members and guests together for networking, connecting and learning. Yesterday, more than 100 professionals gathered at the beautiful Rein Fire Ranch in Ravensdale. It was a wonderful day for connecting and learning from featured speaker Brent Long, founder and coach for Long on Life. His inspirational talk offered five relationship behaviors that lead to growth.

"Serve from the heart to win the heart," Long said.

He shared what Living to Serve means to him:

• Seeking
• Asking
• Listening
• Excelling
• Solidifying 

"If I got to the marketplace with a heart of service, I will be able to stand in the face of opposition with more courage than I would with just techniques," said the coach.
