Greetings Members,
I hope your 2016 is off to a great start. January was a busy month for the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. In case you missed it:
- We welcomed a new business to the community, Sport Clips, and celebrated the new locations of two others Double D Cupcakes & Tiny Treats and Sol Print Solutions.
- Kim Maevers of the Greater Antelope Valley Economic Alliance (GAVEA) shared a preview of the 2016 Economic Roundtable Report at our monthly Luncheon.
- Two new board members were added to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors. Please give a warm welcome to Austin Rice of Fourr, Alden & Associates, LLP and Shanny Goben of TownPlace Suites by Marriott. Both are highly regarded professionals in their fields and we are proud to add their expertise to our board.
- Stan Turner of Edwards Federal Credit Union is assuming the duties of Board Treasurer from Mark Troth. Mark is stepping away from the board to focus on the growth of his third-generation family business, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Troth REALTORS. Thank you both for your work in guiding the financial health of the chamber.
- Lancaster Chamber representatives were on hand for the passing of the gavel at Palmdale Chamber of Commerce's 75th Installation event. Congrats to Chuck Church on a successful year and best wishes to incoming Chairwoman Jennifer Navarro on the year ahead.
During the month of February, I encourage our members to take advantage of one of the many benefits that come with a Lancaster Chamber of Commerce Membership, including (but not limited to):
- Setting up your FREE member page on the chamber website, lancasterchamber.org. Even if you're not tech savvy, our chamber services team can take your logo, photos and business info and build the page for you. How easy is that!
- Book your spot on the Minding Your Business radio show with hosts Chris Spicher and Aaron Goldstein. Taped weekly, this is your opportunity share your business via radio and webcast.
- Do you have a unique product or service that could benefit other members in a workshop-style discussion or meet and greet? Share your expertise by hosting a Lunch & Learn at the chamber office or a Quarterly Mixer at your business.
There is real value in your membership. Let the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce be a part of your business success!
