In Business For Your Business 

 

The Mequon-Thiensville Area Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit, independent business organization that supports and promotes its member businesses & organizations.

Greetings!


The 2014-2015 Mequon-Thiensville Chamber year is just beginning. The new M-T Chamber officers and board of directors officially began their new terms on September 1, 2014.  A list of the board of directors is included in this newsletter in the sidebar below. 

I would like to thank our past president, Terry Schacht, for his successful leadership and dedication to the Chamber over the past year. The M-T Chamber continued to experience growth in many areas and achieved so much during the 2013-2104 year. Jon Safran, our new chamber president, will continue to bring strong leadership and dedication in his new role just as he devoted significant time and energy in his previous Chamber roles.  

Thank you to all of our officers, board members, committee chairs, committee members and sponsors who have made such a significant, positive impact on the chamber over this past year, too. Thank you to all of our members for your support and participation. Your membership is valued and appreciated! The chamber could not provide services and programs if it weren't for all of you!

I would like to hear your feedback as we begin this new year. Complete and return this 
M-T Chamber Member Survey to the chamber office or simply respond with your thoughts, ideas and suggestions in an email message to tinas@mtchamber.org .
  
Sincerely,
  
Tina Schwantes
Executive Director
