president’sMessage

Happy Spring! The promise of a new season is

a welcome relief from the brutal winter we all

endured. But we are a resilient bunch!

So many great things are happening at the

Chamber. We continue to grow and change and

adapt because we understand that to be an

effective and worthwhile organization, we need

to stay on top of our game.

I am happy to report that we are moving forward

with the new Chamber website. The launch of

the new site should be early June.

We’ve updated the Chamber logo and have

been receiving a lot of positive feedback on it.

We are very pleased with it and think it is a pos-

itive brand improvement.

We also hosted our Annual Membership Lun-

cheon where we unveiled our 2014 Membership

Directory & Guide, welcomed 14 new members,

and presented our winning charity from our

January Super Community Spirit Showcase a

check for $11,500.

We have so many more events and opportuni-

ties planned for 2014. Please make the most of

your membership and attend as many of these

as you can.

One last item - This is YOUR Chamber. We are

always open to your suggestions and ideas to

make this the very best Chamber in Bergen

County.

See you out there!
