It is a privilege and honor to be elected to serve as your 2010 Arvada Chamber of Commerce Chair.  It will be an exciting year as we, together with our partners in business, work towards recovery from the economic challenges of 2009. We will be building upon the Chamber's momentum gained last year: increased memberships, financial investments and sponsorships, new programs and events, increased attendance at traditional activities, and investment of time and talents by our members. 

We are indeed fortunate to have a strong group of Chamber board members and staff who are dedicated to "rolling up their sleeves" to take the Arvada Chamber of Commerce to the next level. We look to you, our members, for guidance, vision, and involvement as we unveil plans throughout the coming year. We also have the good fortune of keeping our prior leadership's participation and interest in helping us grow. We have already begun inviting even more leaders in our community to join forces with us, some of whom have started making plans for collaborative programs, stronger relationship building, and more successful events - all to help you attain your business and community growth goals.  AND, we will need to rely upon your active involvement in your Chamber of Commerce to make it all work.

Finally, our success of another amazing year in 2010 will be directly linked to your participation, enthusiasm, and commitment to the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. I look forward to serving with each and every one you!

Thank you!
Ereka
