It finally feels like we are turning the corner and getting back to "normal," and the Trustee Diplomats are excited about everything the Chamber is doing to support our local business community. The Diplomats are here to serve the Chamber, acting as a liaison between the amazing folks running our Chamber, and our key group of investors, the Trustees and the GEM Level Investors.
Mark Trowbridge, our President & CEO, has been a shining example of what we can all accomplish in these interesting times, and we thank him for his leadership. The Chamber has settled into their new offices on Alhambra, and we are excited about in-person events that are to be hosted at the new location soon!
We are all working hard to "Come Together," and Mark, his team, and Brian Barakat, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, have been leading the way. We had our first live Trustee event in over 13 months in the month of April. Thanks to our friends our CenterState /SouthState Bank, our Trustee and GEM Level Investors gathered for a Reception at Bay 13 Brewery and Kitchen, and while we did our best to be socially distant, masked up, hands sanitized, etc., it was great to see so many friendly faces in person. I can speak for myself that it was a lot of fun, and I am eager for more live events soon.
As always, I want to invite any of you who have questions about the Chamber or the Trustees to reach out to me personally. The Chamber has meant so much to me professionally and is the platform I use to build my business. The Diplomats are proud to serve as the connection for members who are curious about Trustee membership.
We have many great events on the horizon, including Trustee Luncheons and hopefully another in-person reception. Stay tuned, stay connected, and stay engaged!
I hope to see you soon!
