President's Message
I am excited to take the reins as President of the Chamber in 2013. This year we are focusing on issues that will have a dramatic impact on the future of Winchester center. As a senior vice president with Century 21 Commonwealth, a lifetime resident and a father of four children in the Winchester Public Schools, I am 100% invested in making the downtown area a great place to live and to do business. The Chamber's membership is growing. We have so much talent and expertise to tap into and our voice is stronger than ever for the business community. Patrick Fortin President Winchester Chamber of Commerce
