President's Letter

 

Our board of directors meet once a year to strategically plan for the future of our chamber. One of the goals we set this year was to max out our chamber golf tournament at 144 golfers. 

 

This is the first year our chamber is hosting the tournament alone and look to our members and their clients, friends, and neighbors, to make it successful. 

 

We are hoping you are doing all you can to participate in our chamber events and make the most of your membership. This golf outing is a key networking opportunity for your employees to become involved weather it is by golfing, sponsoring a hole or volunteering the day of.

 

There is still time to participate. Contact the chamber office today and let us know how you want to help us reach one of our goals for 2013.


Lisa Baker, 2013 Chamber President
