After the election on April 1st, West Allis residents prepare to welcome a new Mayor. Dan Devine is a West Allis resident with strong ties to the community. Mayor Devine served as a Milwaukee County Supervisor since 2004. As our new Mayor, he plans to work hard to improve the quality of life in our city, strengthen the local economy through responsible economic development and job growth. He plans to continue to deliver high quality services at the best possible price to the taxpayers and work with law enforcement at all levels to bring an aggressive approach to crime in our community. Dan has a forward approach to development as well. He says, “Positive steps like the Farmer’s Market and Summit Place are good examples of the potential in our city.” The inauguration is on Tuesday, April 15th. The Chamber looks forward to working with the city under new administration and would also like to share the deepest thanks to our outgoing Mayor, Jeannette Bell for her lifetime of service and job well done. |

The West Allis/West Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce wants you, our members, to take greater advantage of the Chamber’s many services this year more than ever. It is our goal, this year more than ever, to really make sure that our members get their moneys worth. We are exploring many new avenues to help market your business to the community as well as other businesses. Some of these include new sections in the newsletter that will allow members to share information on events and happenings, as well as classified type information. This will feature member discounts, member events and news. We are always happy to receive articles written by members and include them in the newsletter. We will be concentrating on our outreach to the community in many ways. We will be maintaining a blog posting on the West Allis Now website that we can use to advertise member services as well as community happenings. We have some things planned, but would like our members to participate as well. If you have any ideas please let us know. How else can you participate? Attend A.B.L.E. breakfasts or lunches and Business After Five events, our annual events like the upcoming Gala, Golf Classic and Cruise, and Forks and Corks, serve on a committee for your favorite event (contact us for details), or even volunteer at an event. All of these are great ways to help your Chamber and help yourself make business contacts. The Chamber will make sure that our great events stay great and we want your help to make them even better. For other information about what your membership includes and other services available to you, please contact the Chamber office and learn more about what should be an exciting year. We are glad to work with you. Together, we will help continue to make West Allis and West Milwaukee a community that we are proud to call home. |
