A note from Chamber CEO amp; President, Shannon Full
As we find ourselves at the beginning of another year and chapter for our community, businesses and lives, it is a unique time to look back, celebrate all that has been achieved and look ahead to all we must accomplish together.

As we approach Giving Hearts Day 2024, I want to express the profound importance of our non-profit organizations, their pivotal role in our region and the significance of businesses and individuals supporting these invaluable organizations and missions.
Let's continue actively engaging with these organizations, collaborating on initiatives and fostering a culture of support and commitment. Continue reading to see the impact your Chamber is hoping to create in 2024.
