Happy New Year!
As we begin 2021, one cannot help but to take a moment to reflect on the many challenges of 2020. I would like to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to all of you for the many challenges you faced in your perspective businesses. There are many businesses that made it through in spite of the insurmountable odds and others that found their stride and grew. We must also recognize the reality that some businesses were not able to survive and will have to start over. This new year brings optimism and hope that there will be a return to business normal.
I share this optimistic view and as the 2021 Chairman of the Board of Directors for your Grapevine Chamber of Commerce, I look forward to working with our dedicated board and dedicated CEO and staff to bring meaningful programs for our members.
Our focus will be directed in several key areas a) expanding our membership b) improving membership benefits and c) engaging with membership. We know and understand that we must succeed together as it will take numerous efforts to raise the bar in 2021. Investing your dollars in our Chamber is a big commitment and it is my desire that you will be involved to ensure that your dollars are working for you. I welcome your input and
suggestions throughout this year and look forward to having the opportunity to meet each of you. In closing, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our 2020 Chairman, LeAnn Brown, Chamber CEO RaDonna Hessel and the Chamber staff for their unwavering support to our membership. Each of you went above and beyond to obtain important financial and business information that served our members. The Chamber never closed down and stayed focused! Thank you in advance for your commitment and participation in making 2021 an outstanding year for business! Yours in hospitality & service,
Phillip E. Cunningham, Chairman of the Board What A Shine! Enterprises
