President Message

Dear Chamber Members,

As your President, I am eager to serve you and I accept the challenge to continue the great work done by my predecessors.  I will do this with integrity and the same passion which has driven me for years in my work to support local entrepreneurs.

Our Board of Directors is represented by dedicated individuals who are working hard to bring positive changes to our organization.  A five year Strategic Plan was elaborated earlier this year to focus our efforts on what we feel is important to you. This plan includes several attainable goals to support our Chamber Mission which is “To enhance business growth and prosperity through leadership, innovation and representation”.  

We will listen to your concerns.  And, our work will be done in collaboration with business community leaders to promote our Region.  It is of utmost importance that we maintain an unfailing positive attitude so that we can rediscover the many possibilities open to our community. 

I like to welcome all new members.  Our Chamber has grown and we have now reached a milestone of 300 regional members – thanks to you!  I extend a special recognition to the members that have been pioneers of the Chamber and I am asking you for your renewed commitment and involvement.   A stronger regional voice will translate into more benefits for you.  I send a special invitation to the emerging young entrepreneurs to join us.  We need your innovation and energy. 

Take Action!  Join the Chamber and work with us! 

Sincerely,

Vilma Glidden

President
