Helping Move Our Community Forward The Benefit of Collaborative Partnerships Over the past 20 months I have had the opportunity to serve as your Chairman of the Board for the Chamber. What a ride it has been! At the close of 2020 I thought really, this is my legacy year of giving back to the community. So, when the board asked me to serve again 2021, I was thrilled with the opportunity. Why? One of the things I enjoy the most about serving is collaborating with like-minded individuals who want to make a difference.
At the Longview Chamber of Commerce, we look forward to faithfully serving you, our members, by moving our businesses and community forward through our collaborative efforts. Join us in this collaboration movement! What can you do to become a collaborator for success in Longview?
