March 2025 Newsletter

Dear Members,

 

As we step into March, I’d like to share a few thoughts about where we are headed as a Chamber.

 

Over the coming months, you’ll begin to notice some improvements and changes—some subtle, others more significant—as we continue refining how we serve you and support our business community. These updates reflect our ongoing effort to ensure that the Chamber remains relevant, forward-thinking, and valuable to all our members. With that in mind, it is critical that we hear directly from you. Your insights and feedback are invaluable in shaping our future, so please take a few moments to complete this survey and share your thoughts on how we can better support your business and help you thrive.

 

Additionally, we recognize that while Cherry Creek is not known for its wealth of diversity, this only deepens our commitment to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming environment for everyone. We believe diversity strengthens our community, and creates opportunities for all. Upholding a clear code of ethics—rooted in respect, inclusivity, and equity—is a reflection of our core values and the foundation on which we aim to build lasting partnerships.  These are the marks of good business. 

 

Last, we have a handful of service needs—such as communications, social media management, and internal administrative support (accounts receivable, member management, etc.). Before looking outside, we want to start with our own members. If you or your business can help, I encourage you to reach out to me directly (kchism@cherrycreekchamber.org) to explore potential collaboration.

 

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to continuing to grow and innovate together.


Kyle Chism

Executive Director

Why are Takeovers Important?


"Social media is the powerhouse of modern marketing, where content is the new gold. Instagram takeovers are a game-changer, offering businesses a dynamic way to reach new audiences and tell their story in a way that facts alone can't. Facts tell, but stories sell—and the right takeover can turn potential customers into loyal clients."

- Madi Garcia, Professional Storytelling

Member Spotlight





Annabelle Geno


Director of Sales and Membership



What brought you to start your business or get into your industry?

Hospitality is in my DNA. With over 16 years of experience in the industry, I’ve always been drawn to creating exceptional experiences and building meaningful connections. The opportunity to be part of Clayton Hotel and Members Club—a space that seamlessly blends luxury hospitality with a vibrant, curated community—was a perfect fit. My passion lies in bringing people together, fostering relationships, and ensuring that every guest and member feels a true sense of belonging


What do you love most about what you do?

What I love most about my work is the ability to craft meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences. Hospitality is more than just service—it’s about creating a sense of belonging, anticipation, and excellence in every interaction. Whether it’s welcoming new members, curating dynamic events, or fostering partnerships that enhance our community, I thrive on the energy and relationships that make this industry so special. Every day presents an opportunity to elevate experiences, inspire engagement, and make a lasting impact on both individuals and the broader Cherry Creek community


How can the Chamber help you?

The Cherry Creek Chamber of Commerce plays a key role in helping businesses like ours grow by providing networking opportunities, community engagement, and valuable partnerships. I’d love to continue collaborating with fellow Chamber members to enhance local business connections, host engaging events at Clayton, and explore ways we can collectively support the thriving Cherry Creek community.
