From the Chair
David Russell, Adventist Health / Adventist Medical Center
Become engaged in YOUR Chamber
Our new NCCC President/CEO, David Kelly, started work at the chamber office on Monday, July 30. Please join me in welcoming David to our community and to his new position with the chamber - an email, phone call or personal visit will be greatly appreciated by David.
I also want to invite your engagement with our NCCC board of directors. At our July board meeting, the first of the new fiscal year, it was clear this board is prepared to be actively engaged in supporting the chamber's mission, "A member driven organization committed to a vibrant business environment". The board members realize the success and growth of our chamber depends on clearly understanding the needs of local business and taking action to support each of you in building a healthy, growing business community. Your board members want to directly hear from you about how we can work together to accomplish our mission. Take a few minutes, today, to connect with a board member and let us know what's going well and what's not, what are the important opportunities you feel the board should consider. Thank you for choosing to be a NCCC member and to actively support your chamber.
