There is so much to look forward to as one year ends and another begins. I always take a deep breath at this time every year and think about the new beginnings Judy Marshall and new possibilities that will be available as our clocks hit midnight on December 31st. We have a blank canvas; let’s paint it with our hopes and dreams. As this year closes, the Chamber is in the final stages of writing a Marketing Plan, the next step in the planning process that will assist us in understanding and managing the links and gaps between the organization and its environment. It will be the guide to making decisions that will affect business and customers, delivering services and programs to members, funding sources and other groups within the community and region. One of the steps in writing a document like this is to write a position statement which differentiates a product, the Chamber, from others and consider the value our “product” has for our target audience – you. We are still playing with words, but I think it is important for you to see it as a draft and provide your input and comments: “The Aurora Chamber of Commerce is determined to champion the development of its members and to foster a strong local business community”. Please send me your input at: j.marshall@aurorachamber.on.ca. More than ever we have come to realize that your expectations of the Chamber have changed and will continue to change. We have held focus groups, contacted members and listened. The Marketing Plan is a reflection of what we have heard and is our way of mapping out the future with the resources you need to succeed. And, the document has been developed so we can digress from it, putting projects on hold if something more urgent needs to happen. Our job is to listen, keep ahead of the trends and provide opportunities for members and the Chamber to prosper. For the future I envision growth – in numbers of members – but, most importantly, in the quality of programs and services that we provide. We must be open to a new way of doing business; and we must be innovative, responsive and creative – always ready to adapt as the world, our region and Aurora evolve. It’s an exciting time to be involved with the Chamber and I look forward to working with the board, committees, volunteers and members as we build a strong future. What I hope for you in 2012 as I paint my blank canvas is good health and peace and happiness within your family. Then, I wish I could prove the economic naysayers wrong and paint Aurora with a brush of prosperity. I wish I could change the economic forecast for our new year, but . . . we are still on a rollercoaster and it is expected to be a rough ride. I feel confident that we will make it through, especially if we ride the course together, confident that the forecasters have misinterpreted their data and business will just keep getting better and better. From the Board and staff of the Aurora Chamber, best wishes for a prosperous and happy 2012. Till next time . . .
