Michael Chase, Communication
M F Chase Websites
When you need website work, you don’t need a geek or a friend…You need a Professional! 
With over 20 years of website and marketing experience, my goal is to make website technology and integrated marketing a positive asset for the small business at an affordable price. By using the 7 principles of GPS Marketing we can make your website a tool rather than a static billboard or an expense item. Every business needs a website today. The real question is: Should you be working for your website or should it be working for you?
Michael is responsible for technical development of the RHBA website and the Social media postings as well as the RHBA update. The monthly email that lets us all know what is going on and when, usually originates with him but depends on the input from other board members and the membership at large.
