President's Message    

David A. Kelly, President & CEO  

David Kelly
Go TEAM

In past newsletter articles, you've heard me refer to our Chamber members as TEAM North Clackamas. Just like any great team (insert your favorite basketball, football, baseball, soccer, etc. team), when we work "Together Everyone Achieves More".

 

Your coaching staff is busily at work preparing for next season. The Board, committee/task force chairs, and staff have already met for a Strategic Planning Retreat where offensive and defensive theories were discussed and the importance of cheerleaders and fans (personal marketing that creates excitement about the Chamber) were emphasized. We are now working on building those principles into a game plan (budget) that will lead to even more success.

 

There are many ways you can help TEAM North Clackamas succeed. Your support through membership is a big one. We also could use your help on our many task forces and committees. Attending Chamber events, or better yet bringing a friend with you to Chamber events also help build a successful team. Speaking of Chamber events, sign up NOW for two of the biggest events of the year. The Golf Outing is on Wednesday June 12 and the Annual Awards & Installation Banquet is on Thursday, June 27.
