However, I know your time is valuable so I just want to extend a huge thank you to each and every one of you who have allowed us to be part of what you do every day! From building ads to creating events to advocating for YOUR business at each level of government, we thank you. We have completed our board of directors’ strategic planning session and established our priorities for the upcoming 2020 year. We will be fine tuning these goals over the next few weeks to be able to send out to our membership at the beginning of the New Year. We hope you are each able to spend time with those who mean the most to you over this holiday season. Thank you again for all that you do to support our amazing community. Sincerely, Cheri Rosenberg Executive Director
