Once again, I am privileged to be
elected the Chair of the La Verne
Chamber of Commerce. I look back to
the years 2005/2006, the years of my
lastChairmanshipandseetheprofound
changes in the Chamber membership
and its governing body today.
The team is
stronger
than
ever and is always
here to assist our
members.
Since then, we have new staffing and
office dynamics to provide office
efficiency, we have reviewed our
programs and events to make positive
changes, and we have enhanced the
benefits of membership. We have
revampedmany of our communication
pieces to focus on members.
As I look ahead, I am proud to be part
of the tradition that has kept abreast
of the demographic changes, new
business that have come to La Verne,
through the continued efforts of the
City Administration and the changes
in the housing landscape. One of the
best ways to ride this wave of progress
and keep your business at the forefront
is to join the Chamber.
Your membership in the La Verne
Chamber of Commerce provides
unparalleled opportunities to connect
with your peers, your current and
prospective clients and partners up
and down your supply chains to keep
your lines of communication open.
To me, the Chamber has always been
a premier business-enabling and
advocacy organization in LaVerne and
San Gabriel Valley. Regular meetings,
conferences and other activites
provide extraordinary opportunities
to grow our networks and gain new
insights for addressing the common
challenges facing all of us in business
today. Byworking together as Chamber
members, we have a much stronger
voice with our elected leaders as they
contemplate policy revisions and
new rules and regulations that create
greater certainty and an improved
environment for business in the City
of La Verne.
You have certainly heard this before
and it is worth repeating here, there
is strength in numbers. I believe that
is especially true with the Chamber.
This Chamber and your business
community needs you!
Renew, join anew, and reach out and
encourage the companies you do
business with regularly to join as well.
