Well ready or not, it came and 2015 is here. The New Year has arrived and I could not be more excited to get started on our 2015 Program of Work. I am so proud of the team we have assembled to lead us through this year. I am in awe and inspired by the amount of work that has already been done by our staff and board of directors preparing for the New Year. Jamie Calkins, thank you for great leadership in 2014 and for handing the gavel over with such a strong foundation to build upon. A special thank you to Sue, Jill, Katrina and all of our volunteers for patiently holding down the fort during our leadership transition. It is time now to roll up our sleeves and get to work. We have many ambitious goals, one of which is to bring our membership over the 1000 mark during 2015. No one has said (at least to my face..) that we can’t get there and the commitment to achieving that goal is apparent everywhere I go. One of our other 2015 Goals is to ensure that our members truly understand the Value of their membership. The work we do and the impact on our communities goes so far beyond networking and leads groups. Our members and community leaders need to know that every day we are fully engaged in the ongoing conversations related to Economic Development, Education, Legislative Affairs, Planning and Zoning, Tourism, Land Use and development projects. Our 18 person Board of Directors is an amazing group of talented and dedicated local professionals all sharing One Vision and having One Purpose. The Vision is to secure Southeast Volusia’s future as a vibrant, healthy and business friendly environment where its citizens enjoy a great place to live, work and prosper. Our Purpose is to help provide the guidance to our public and private sector leaders related to the needs and expectations of our business community. We Need You! The Chamber, our staff and our Board of Directors cannot do all that needs to be done alone. Our agenda and our calendar are bulging, all with necessary and vital projects. Your support is essential to our success. How can you help? First and foremost…..join the Chamber of Commerce! If you are a member already, thank you. If you are not or know someone who is not, please encourage him or her to join. It takes money to provide the many services we offer and membership is our primary source of funding. Secondly…..get involved! We have so many great events. Not only will you be part of a great team, but also you will make so many friends and business acquaintances. My Chamber friends are now some of my best friends! Lastly, when you are doing business in Southeast Volusia County, ask the merchant if they are a member of the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce. Our logo should be worn as a badge of integrity and I ask that you do business locally and with our Chamber members. Thursday, January 22 General Membership Luncheon “State of the Chamber” Smyrna Yacht Club 12:00 Noon I am excited about our future and I know that with everyone’s help, 2015 will be a year to be proud of.
