Letter from
the CEO
It’s All About Community
I am continually heartened by the
level of commitment and activity
of the businesses and residents of
the East Metro region. Much of my
time is spent working collaboratively
creating partnerships with community
leaders and stakeholders in an effort
to grow regional vitality and make this
a great place to live and do business.
Working together as a region to shape
the future direction of the economy
is key to success in this community.
All of the elements of the Chamber’s
core competencies involve community
whether representing the voice of
business, relationship building or
promoting the community. I am
excited about the momentum in the
region and the direction of
the Chamber.
