New Chamber President
Letter from Guelph Chamber of Commerce New President
Guelph - Thank-you for the welcome and encouragement as I assume a new role as President and CAO of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce. To highlight initial goals for the next six months;
1) To focus on enhancing membership value by continuing to provide networking opportunities and education programs working with business to determine needs.
2) To consolidate the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to be the voice of business in Guelph, connecting with the existing business groups within the City, the three levels of government, and media to establish a solid communications network.
3) To pursue Accreditation with Distinction with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, expanding on Guelph’s role as a founding member of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. This accreditation will provide a framework of defining existing efforts and developing plans for the future in five key areas: Advocacy and Policy Development, Membership Programs and Services, Organization and Administration, Governance, and Strategic Planning.
4) To define and leverage advocacy opportunities and joint planning opportunities for local, national and international business development.
5) To celebrate the Guelph Chamber of Commerce’s 140th anniversary of incorporation with reflections on the past and connecting our vision for the future. The City’s brand of “Making a Difference” and the GCC’s brand of “Moving Business Forward” are very compatible!
I look forward to my new role, and especially to meeting the people responsible for helping Guelph be a city of unique opportunities for doing business, raising families, and making a difference.
