First of all, I want to thank Gerise, Molly, Michael and Steve for their hard work and dedication to the members of the Chamber in 2007. They’ve also helped motivate me to go forward with this change in my career. I am enthused, motivated, and excited to begin working for you! You are my priority. I look forward to finding out what you want from the Chamber and its leadership. My first goal is to begin a membership drive in 2008 to provide you with more people to network and exchange business, specifically targeting new businesses in West Milwaukee.

I also look forward to meeting new people and getting them involved in the Chamber. I may be calling you to ask for your help by providing feedback, attending functions, or volunteering on a committee. I plan on asking for a lot of opinions and listening to what you have to say. As a Chamber, we may want to consider making minor changes to some of our events; I would like to revive the Business After Fives, and maybe consider adding a new event. Please give me your ideas! I will be at the Chamber full-time as of January 2, 2008. Please call or stop by to visit. I promise to be optimistic, open-minded, and fun to work with! I wish you all a very safe, healthy, and happy New Year!
