Looking Back and Moving Forward

Looking Back and Moving Forward

By Theresa Harvey, President and CEO

This past month, North Orange County Chamber (NOCC) had an opportunity to recognize “Jewels of Our Community” -- businesses that make North Orange County a great place to live and to work. We salute St. Jude Medical Center, CSU Fullerton, Polly’s Pies, and Congressman Ed Royce for your leadership and contributions to our region.

Like these outstanding businesses, the Chamber continues to look forward. Formed to assist businesses during the late 19th century, the Chamber embraces a belief that business has no borders and hence the organization supports economic success, promotes an educated workforce, provides opportunities for women and minority owned enterprises, and serves as an advocate for business throughout the region.

The organization has not succeeded because of any single individual. It takes leadership, guidance and financial support to foster success. As we enter a new fiscal year, we welcome Javier Solis as Chair of the Board. He is committed to carrying on the Chamber’s mission of supporting business for economic success. The Chamber is “On The Move”!

The Chamber continues to serve our members as we work as conveners of leaders, catalysts to spark growth in businesses through programming and services, and champions for building a stronger community by connecting people and issues important to business success.

As we launch our new year, we invite you to jump on board and move forward with us.
