Message from the President
As we set out on a new year with the Chamber, I have two questions
to ask:
- What can the Chamber do for you? Please do not hesitate to contact
me directly, any board member, or Maura, our office manager with
any questions or concerns that you may have on how the Chamber
can serve you.
- What can you do for the Chamber? You may find that you get the
answer to #1 by getting involved with the Chamber as a committee
member. We have formed four standing committees that could use
help from outside the Board of Directors. Those committees are:
- Membership/Ambassador Committee: Goals are to visit
new and "future" members of the Chamber to see what needs
the Chamber can fulfill, and to recruit new members.
- Public Relations Committee: Responsibilities will
be to promote the Chamber through press releases, web presence,
other organizations, etc.
- Meeting Committee: Responsibilities will be to arrange
for periodic membership meetings with guest speakers or other
informative sessions, and to help organize business after
hours.
- Events Committee: Responsibility will be to organize
Chamber events, specifically the annual Business Expo. We
are looking to expand upon this event quite significantly
this year and could use whatever ideas or help you may have!
Please contact me or the Chamber office if any of those committees
interest you.
Thank you in advance, and I look forward to working with you this
coming year.
