New Leadership. As Paul mentioned, the chamber is currently in

the process of hiring a new Executive Director. This is not an easy
task, but we have been blessed with Sandy Sloane, our interim
facilitator, who has spearheaded this critical project. On behalf of
the chamber, thank you Sandy for all you have done for the good of
our community!
Restructuring. Operational efficiencies have been put into place
allowing our team to be more effective at their jobs. This will
enable the chamber to be more nimble in its approach to providing
important and additional value to our chamber members.
Committees. As times change, the chamber and its priorities must
also change. We have identified numerous new areas in which to
dedicate our time, efforts and resources. A main focus will be on
tourism and what we can do together to help our community thrive
instead of simply survive.
Bylaws. In 2016, Paul created a team based approach so that the
chamber staff would have a greater sense of consistency relative to
board member succession. We will continue that same approach in
2017 to ensure all Chamber Officers are collectively rowing in the
same direction, toward the same goals in a manner consistent with
the Chambers strategic plan.
Once again, it is truly an honor and a privilege to serve in this
capacity. I would like to personally thank Paul Griswold for his
stalwart leadership this past year, the staff for their tireless and stellar
efforts, and of courseour incredible Members. Our Chamber
rivals any other in our area and with your continued support,
dedication, and involvement, we will make 2017 one to remember!
