Chair of the Board Message Thank you, 2021. The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce has navigated through some exciting changes, enhancements and expansions that we are thrilled with and know will bring added value to your chamber membership experience. One thing that continues to remain the same is knowing that our local Springville and Mapleton business community is strong. The last two years have delivered a variety of challenges. I know that business executives generally work well in a fast-changing environment, and this past year has validated that statement once again. Together, we braved new experiences, sat in discussion groups to collaborate and expanded our reach as a chamber. Instead of just waiting to see “what’s next,” we have been busy CREATING IT. Last year, we made that commitment to our members. Moving forward, we will continue adding value for our members in everything we do, including events such as our annual Installation Banquet, Family BBQ, Business Bingo, golf tournament, Safe Halloween and Meet the Candidates Night. Our goal is to encourage local citizens to Shop Local! In addition to these long-standing events, we have launched our Target Workshops and leveled up our Lunch and Learns. Mark your calendars for the second Tuesday of every month; Target Workshops are a new way to network and engage locally, and our Lunch and Learns will continue to provide
education and knowledge for our local community of leaders. We are grateful for the library’s support as it has provided a beautiful meeting space for us to gather in. In addition to our in-person events, our social media outreach will continue to grow and highlight businesses in our community to keep us connected virtually. The chamber serves as an advocate for our business leaders. During my time on the chamber board during the last three years, I have witnessed the good the chamber brings to our business economy and the dedication, wisdom and experience we have among our local leaders. We have a vast array of entrepreneurs and risk-takers. Whether you have been a business owner for decades or you’re someone with an idea and do not know where to start, we encourage you to look to the chamber and get involved. As I have networked around our business community statewide during the past 20 years, I have met many men and women who have added value to my business, both personally and professionally, by simply getting involved. The chamber is eager to leap into 2022; as I complete my term as chair, our plans have taken flight as we are adding more value for our members. As a board, we continue to foster an environment for entrepreneurship and industries’ growth for the city’s future. Our membership is the lifeblood of the chamber,
and I believe the chamber to be the lifeblood of the growing business economy. I encourage you to get involved. There are many opportunities available for our members. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Melanie Bott is our second-year president and CEO. Having also served as our past chair, she has a wealth of knowledge and is committed to making sure you have a great experience. I am personally excited to be dedicating time, effort and leadership to the chamber. Special thanks go to members of the chamber’s Board of Directors, who are dedicated to elevating this organization to a new level of excellence and furthering the mission, vision and purpose of the chamber.
