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!
