healing to do, and the Chamber
is here for you. Many, like myself,
just want to wipe the slate clean
and start fresh. The Chamber
is here for you too. Whichever
side you happen to fall on, it
means getting creative with this
new beginning and adapting to
whatever comes our way.
In that regard, I hope you
like the fresh new look for the
Chamber itself. We wanted to roll
out the new look to go along with
our new location in Downtown
Chandler. And this isn’t just
optics; it’s about making sure the
Chamber is communicating clearly
and often with our members.
The Board and staff, led by our
President and CEO will continue
to find innovative ways and
new ideas to help businesses
in whatever capacity is needed.
We will continue to act as a
conduit between your business
and elected officials, other local
businesses as well as our partners
in the nonprofit and education
sectors.

...it means
getting creative
with this new
beginning and
adapting to
whatever comes
our way.
We are the voice of the
business community, when and
how you need us to be.
One notable takeaway from
The Year that Shall Not be
Named, is that, while we are a
membership-based organization,
and rely on those memberships
to be financially sound, we
also believe that success of all
businesses in Chandler is the
success to us as a Chamber.
With that in mind, we’ve made
Chamber resources available
to any and all local businesses,
regardless of membership status.
That is something we’ll continue
when and where it makes sense.
We’re online when we need
to be, and will revisit in-person
events when we can. Our Ostrich
Festival committee is diligently
researching new concepts for
Chandler’s signature event. Each
event and program is being
examined for how it can help the
business community succeed in
the future.
I hope you join us as we build a
successful 2021. Be sure to reach
out to the Board, the staff, or me if
you have input or ideas. On behalf
of the Chandler Chamber Board
of Directors, I want to thank you
for being part of our organization’s
success, and most importantly,
welcome to the New Year!
