Greetings Members and Happy Halloween,
I wanted to take this time to introduce myself and provide a brief overview of what I will hope to accomplish as we finish out the year. I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to help the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce achieve its fullest potential. There is a lot of work to do, but with your help we can accomplish great things. As I start my position, I will take the great work our Board of Directors and Interim Director, Dani Delaini, did with the creation of a strategic plan and put the plan into action.
Also, as the incoming Executive Director for the Chamber, I recognize that communication is key to a well rounded and functioning organization. Over the next couple of months, I will start to reach out to each and every one of you, so that I can listen to your concerns and hear your ideas for how to improve the business and community environment in the Saranac Lake Area. This fundamental idea will help guide the Chamber to fulfill its promise to promote, convene, and service its members. Of course, if you have ideas you would like to share or pressing concerns, please do not hesitate to reach me via email at
director@slareachamber.org
or via phone at (518) 891 - 1991.
