Message from the President |
|
Happy New Year, everyone. I'd like to introduce myself to those who don't know me and reintroduce myself to the ones that do.
My name is Gary Heldt and I want to thank the Greater Crofton Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors for having the confidence in me to vote me into the President role.
While 2021 had it's share of challenges, our Chamber was still able to produce our flagship amazing events, like National Night Out and Festival on the Green. Our goal in 2022 is continue to do the same while navigating any road blocks that may present themselves.
This Chamber has a strong team in our Board of Directors and Executive Director that represent a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. With this team, I'm confident that 2022 will be a productive, and resourceful year for all of you as we are here to help in any way we can.
We are here for you, your business, and this great community. Thank you for taking the time to read this short note.
Gary Heldt
