<strong>Bridgeport</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> of <strong>Commerce</strong><br />

President<br />

I look forward to a great year<br />

of working together to strengthen<br />

the economy of our local<br />

businesses, personal relationships,<br />

and to promote the wonderful<br />

community.<br />

I<br />

am excited to serve another year as President of the <strong>Bridgeport</strong><br />

Area <strong>Chamber</strong> of <strong>Commerce</strong>!<br />

Over the past 49 years your <strong>Chamber</strong> has demonstrated its<br />

commitment as a leader in the promotion and support of the<br />

business community in the area. Membership is where our<br />

organization starts — without our members we have no reason to<br />

exist. It is the support of our member companies and individuals<br />

that have made the <strong>Chamber</strong> a strong network for over 49 years.<br />

The <strong>Bridgeport</strong> Area <strong>Chamber</strong> offers monthly luncheons every<br />

third Thursday of the month and participates in Quarterly Mixers<br />

with other Wise County <strong>Chamber</strong>s. The <strong>Chamber</strong> also hosts three<br />

major events a year with the Barnett Shale Sporting Clay Shoot,<br />

Butterfield Stage Days and Coal Miners’ Heritage Days. These<br />

events, along with new business ribbon cuttings, are the perfect<br />

opportunity to promote your business with your peers. We have<br />

a dedicated staff of two and a team of twelve board members<br />

that come from a cross-section of the community. It’s the board<br />

members that make up numerous committee chairs along with<br />

many volunteers who commit their time and energy toward<br />

making our events successful. I appreciate the investment your<br />

organization has made in this <strong>Chamber</strong> and I encourage you to<br />

get involved by attending or volunteering in as many events as<br />

you can. By taking advantage of these opportunities available<br />

through the <strong>Chamber</strong>, you can meet and work with people<br />

committed to helping the community and enjoy the benefits of<br />

networking and promoting your company.<br />

Thank you for your ongoing support of the <strong>Chamber</strong>. We look<br />

forward to a great year of working together to strengthen the<br />

economy of our local businesses, personal relationships, and to<br />

promote this wonderful community and the surrounding area.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Will R. Carpenter<br />
