2012 Board of Directors

                    —————— A Message from the Chair —————

 

     Our Mission is “to provide benefits and services to support member businesses and promote a strong economic climate”.
 
     The beginning of each year brings a new set of goals for many of us.  For me, as the 2012 Board Chair for the Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, it is an honor and a privilege to serve our business community.  I have always believed that we can accomplish great things if we don’t care who gets the credit.  That has been my philosophy and for 2012 the values of commitment, accountability, and teamwork are traits I will strive to encourage my board of directors to achieve.
 
     Morgan Hill is fast becoming a destination.  The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce wants you to make Morgan Hill an “experience”.  We will work to that end with the tourism committee to promote our sports events, wineries, restaurants, entertainment and our outdoor life.  Being a part of the southern Santa Clara County, I want to work collaboratively with the Gilroy Chamber to produce the 2012 Earth Day celebration in April.
 
     2012 continues to be a tight economy and I want to bring seminars and forums front and center to educate our business community on topics important to us. Our Government Relations Committee will study and analyze important issues for the business community of Morgan Hill.  They will recommend positions for, against or neutral.  This is one of many important committees that can guide you in decisions facing your business.
 
     I would urge you to become involved as a Chamber member. Networking is the key to success in Morgan Hill and I invite you to participate in any or all of the opportunities the Chamber offers. I look forward to talking with you during the year or contact me at lwelk@gavilan.edu for any reason.
 
Sincerely,
