Dear Business and Community Leaders,
I wish you, your family and our community the very best of this holiday season. Once again, we are faced with an ever evolving situation that is changing our best laid plans. And yet I am optimistic that by working together, we will get to the other side of this pandemic and forge a bright future.
I have been incredibly amazed and ever appreciative of the ingenuity and resilience of our local businesses, particularly in the hardest hit sectors. As a community, we have learned many lessons that we must leverage moving forward. We are all connected and everyone has an important part to play.
Thank you to our businesses for your commitment to safety and your creativity. Thank you to our community and economic partners for your
trust and willingness to collaborate at a whole new level. Thank you to our decision makers and leaders for listening and acting with the best intentions. Thank you to our front line and health care workers for your diligence and sacrifice. Thank you to everyone who has bought local, been kind,
supported key causes and exercised good judgement.
We look forward to a healthy and prosperous 2022. Our board, staff and volunteer team remain committed to local business success and strong community growth. We will continue to advocate for the programs and policies needed to build business, consumer and employee confidence.
And together we will build forward better.
WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.
Yours truly,
Sueling
