CHAMBER MEMBER SURVEY!

Happy New Year!

I hope all of you are as excited about the new year as I am. I'm glad that 2010 is behind us, it wasn't such a great year for me. However, more importantly, I'm looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges that 2011 will bring. I believe it will be a good year for our area and am looking forward to sharing it with you.

Speaking of new opportunities for the new year...the chamber board members are involved in a strategic planning process for the chamber and we would appreciate your input. We are looking for feedback from our members. Please take a moment to complete a brief (only 13 questions) survey for us. Your comments and suggestions are needed to help us to plan for 2011 and beyond. Click here to access survey.

Also, we have one vacancy on our board of directors, due to an employment relocation. If you are a Chamber member and interested in serving on the board, please give me a call to learn more about this opportunity.

Sincerely,

Leisa Mansfield
