Hafa Adai Catherine,,
Many member companies have reached out to the Chamber to convey their thanks for our recent public statement to roll back the business privilege tax. If you didn't read it, you can view it here.
Even though we anticipated that the road to recovery would be long, it doesn't change the fact that the journey has been excruciating for many. Anticipating that there will be other variants associated with this virus down the round, it's obvious that an important aspect in the community's recovery is to work on getting healthier. Addressing health issues that have plagued our island people for decades, addressing our mental state of mind and, getting smart about the Covid virus and potential mutations is a step in the right direction.
I've seen many of our member employees with this same mindset and they have been doing a great job in implementing new exercise and eating habits. Others have taken up new hobbies and are spending more time with their immediate family. How are you kicking Covid to the curb in your life? Drop me a line - I'd love to know!
We are at the final stretch of 2021, but that doesn't mean we are slowing down:
- Our Chamber Board has been working on updating the Chamber's Strategic Plan;
- We decided to cancel the October 2nd Gala. Although we won't have a celebratory event with everyone as planned, we are scheduling a very scaled-down opportunity for members celebrating milestone anniversaries to receive their recognition awards;
- Action PAC is working on gearing up for the upcoming election year, and;
- We have some engagement activities that we don't want you to miss out on so stay tuned to your email boxes and social media platforms for updates. (I hope you are following us on social!)
Until then, we do have a few updates below. Scroll down to learn more! Have a relaxing weekend!
Onward Together,
Catherine Castro
President
