Dear Dear MVCCC and the Foothill Community,

Welcome to the New Year and a new era at the Chamber. It is with high hopes and great expectations that I take the helm of our Chamber. I am fortunate to be taking over at a time when our Chamber is poised to take off and grow like it has never done before. With new office staff and many new board members, we have fresh ideas and a new direction. We will continue to bring to the community all the events you have come to enjoy over the years, while at the same time we plan on adding new events that benefit our local businesses and the community that supports them. My focus as President is to promote our member businesses in a way that affects their bottom line. After all, we are a “Chamber of Commerce” and we are here for our businesses as well as our community. The more successful our businesses are, the better our community becomes. But it all starts with each of us taking responsibility for our own house (business) and growing from there. I am taking responsibility for our Chamber. Best of luck in 2011, it is going to be a great year!
