From the Chair
Gregory A. Chaimov, Attorney at Law
Your suggestions requested

President's Message Susan Lehr, President/CEO
CEO makes announcement
After much consideration I have made the difficult decision that I will not be renewing my contract with the Chamber at the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2012. As leaders yourselves, you understand the importance of evaluating the operations of an organization to identify what is important to move the goals and vision of an organization forward. That has been a major focus of my time this year. With the help of the Board and our volunteer teams we have worked to continually improve the services and opportunities for our members.
