Chamber of Commerce
Your Chamber in 2016 UPCOMING EVENTS It is with great excitement that I step into the role of Chair of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce in 2016. I am extremely proud of our Chamber and what we have accomplished in recent years. At a time when Chambers across North America are struggling to remain viable and relevant, the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is thriving with an engaged membership and a financially sound foundation.
Gillian Kirk Chair Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce
I am privileged to have a unique perspective as Chair. My experience with the Chamber started several years ago when I was hired as the Membership Services Manager, this experience gave me valuable insight into the day-to-day operations of
running a Chamber. I learned first-hand how hard the Chamber staff work. They are the unsung heroes of the organization and they deserve many kudos for their efforts. My goal for this year is simple: I want our Chamber of Commerce to have the best-served membership in the region. I want our members to feel that they receive great value and that they have a strong voice to advocate on their behalf. One way we will accomplish this is by expanding our membership team to ensure that our current members are well-served, while strategically growing our membership to represent even more Tri-Cities businesses.
Find out more about upcoming events and register online at www.tricitieschamber.com. Please register at least two days prior to all events.
We must also remember to remain focused on what is in the best interest of our business community. I ask our members and the community at large to support us in this goal by getting involved in the Chamber and by communicating with us about what is
important to you. Connect with staff or your board about what is happening in your business or industry that we should know about. The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is YOUR Chamber, and we want to hear from you.
