I would like to thank Shayn Cutino-Chamber Past President, the Board of Directors, the
CEO, the staff and the Ambassadors for a job “well done” this past year. It was a very
trying year for the Chamber. We only broke even on our CornFest, which is our major
income source. So like any business, that has felt this economic downturn, the Chamber
is having to make important decisions to keep it viable. That is exactly what the Board
and the CEO are now doing. The Board is making the necessary decisions to bring our
expenses in line with our income. Because of this I feel that 2011 will be a very good
year for your Chamber.
The Chamber will continue to provide resources for our members to help them improve their business. These
resources include our “Good Morning Brentwood” which has guest speakers speaking to business operations and
City topics, monthly mixers where the business owner can network with other business owners to promote their
business. A new feature at the mixer allows members to give a 30 second infomercial about their business. And
Brown Bag Lunches where the member can learn and discuss how to improve their business. The Brentwood
Chamber also hosts SCORE Counselors at the Chamber office two days a month. These are counselors of small
businesses. So if you have questions or need help regarding your business and its operations, you should use
this service. Information about these and other services are available on our website and our weekly e-mails to
all members.
I encourage all members to get involved with the Chamber this year. You can do that by becoming an ambassa-
dor or volunteering to help with the CornFest, Hometown Halloween, Holiday Parade, Golf Tournament, or the
Taste of Brentwood. Your help can be big or small but whatever amount of time you can spend will help the
Chamber and, therefore, its members have a positive 2011.
I am excited about this Chamber year and the challenges it will bring. With the outstanding Board of Directors
we have I know that the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce will be as strong as ever providing the business
community with much needed services.
I consider it a great privilege to serve as Chamber President for the year 2011.

I’m Maurice Daroy with Farmers Insurance, the Daroy Insurance Agency and our
Brentwood Chamber Ambassador of the Year. I would like to take this opportunity to
introduce myself and to thank the Brentwood Chamber and community for all their
support over the last 14 years.
So who’s Maurice? I’m a father, a husband, a local business owner and this year’s
2011 Ambassador of the Year for our Brentwood Chamber of Commerce.
As a father one of life’s largest rewards is watching your family grow up. Together,
my wife Angela and I, are blessed to have our three sons Reese (17), Dustin (14) and
Ryan (11). With our oldest son Reese headed to college next year, we find ourselves
asking each other , “Where did all the time go?”
In 1997 I started a career in the Insurance industry. Shortly after that, in 1998, I
opened my agency here in our Delta community. With the support of Farmers Insur-
ance I’ve been able to offer our residential clients many products such as Auto, Home
and Life insurance. For our business clients, we have General Liability, Workers
Comp and Bonds just to name a few. The first 9 years of business I was located in the
Liberty Links Center, which was next to Brentwood Dodge across from Bill Brandt
Ford. In 2006 we moved to our current location at 9040 Brentwood Blvd #C which is
basically next door to the Brentwood Police Department.
Our Chamber, have you ever noticed we have a special “BUZZ” about us? When I
first became a Chamber member back in 1998, I remember our Chamber basically
operating as a one man (one woman, Bonnie!) show. Since then we’ve bloomed into a
full staff and many Officers, Directors and Ambassadors. All which help our Chamber
operate smoothly and always with our community’s best interest in mind. I’ve found
the benefits of becoming a Chamber Ambassador extend well beyond the basic meet
and greet. It’s the opportunity to help build and
strengthen a community. So whether you’re having a
Ribbon Cutting, a Monthly Mixer or even a Fund-
raiser I’m sure you’ll find the Chamber by your side.
I’m looking forward to making new friends and
supporting local business in 2011.
Sincerely,
Maurice J. Daroy, LUTCF
