Editor's Notes
My Executive Board met to review our Strategy
How does the mission of the Chamber connect to Economic Development?
As a yearly review of our mission we asked ourselves- What are our main areas of focus? And does it support our mission-
I felt that as the President, I should change my message to a more overarching message for the business community.
