In September 2009, Webolutions and the South Metro Denver Chamber launched a monthly Meetup group focused on helping businesses understand and effectively use social media in their marketing. On Dec. 1, 2011, the group, Social Marketing for Business – Join the Conversation, celebrated the acquisition of its 1,000 online member.
“This group is all about action, communication, involvement, leadership and ROI,” said John Brackney, CEO and president of the Chamber. “The way this group has been created and executed is amazing. It is now one of the largest business groups in the world. This has become an extremely important component of the Denver business community. Webolutions’ leadership of this group is exemplary.”

Terry McElhaney has more reasons than one to be thankful for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. The Littleton native is the communications manager, but his ties to the chamber run deeper than a biweekly paycheck.
In 1924, the association that would eventually become the south suburbs’ leading business-support organization was instrumental in bringing General Ironworks to Englewood. Ironworks would become one of the area’s strongest employers – a fact that had romantic as well as economic-development implications.
“My parents met at General Ironworks,” McElhaney said. “I wouldn’t be around if it wasn’t for the chamber. If it wasn’t for the chamber, General Ironworks wouldn’t have come in – and they were the second major manufacturer in the whole south area.”
