Core Strategies

Keeping the Chamber current, timely, and responsive to the needs of its members is critical to future success. The Chamber Board of Trustees, with Chamber staff and input from Chamber members, wrote a new strategic plan for 2006-2010. Through this process, new vision and mission statements were written. Five key areas of competitiveness were also identified as being crucial to our region and members’ success.
