Positioned.
Perfectly...for
A Stellar 2012
As
incoming
chairperson of
the West Des
Moines
Chamber of
Commerce, I want
to share my
excitement with
you as 2012
begins to
unfold. With an
innovative
strategic plan
and well-defined
goals, we will
continue to work
diligently to
make the West
Des Moines
Chamber of
Commerce the
very best it can
be by providing
extraordinary
value to our
members. I
think you will
agree that with
the leadership
of our Chamber
staff and Board
of Directors, we
are in fact,
"positioned
perfectly" to:
- Expand
our business and
industry
footprint
through our West
Des Moines
Development
Connection.
- Develop
future leaders
to serve our
community
through the West
Des Moines
Leadership
Academy.
- Encourage
and grow our
young
professionals
through our New
View
organization.
- Provide
outstanding
value to our
membership with
state of the art
programming.
- Orchestrate
excellent
networking
opportunities
and special
events.
- Serve
as an advocate
for members on
issues impacting
our business
community
With
the onset of the
New Year, many
of us are
inclined to make
New Year's
resolutions. If
you are having
difficulty in
deciding on a
resolution this
year, allow me
to offer a
suggestion.
Make this the
year of
involvement with
your Chamber.
With a myriad of
committees, task
forces, projects
and special
events, I am
sure you can
find a perfect
fit, allowing
you to realize
an even greater
value for your
investment.
Being an active
Chamber member
you will reap
rewards of
building
relationships
and most likely
increasing your
customer/client
base too. And
let's face it -
a commitment to
become more
involved with
your Chamber
will be easier
than losing
weight or
breaking nasty,
old habits!
I
want to extend
my sincerest
thank you to our
President, Chris
Voggesser,
the Chamber
staff, our 2011
Chair, Tammy
Cline, our
dedicated Board
of Directors,
Ambassadors and
Committee
members.
Together you
worked
tirelessly
advancing the
vision and
mission of the
West Des Moines
Chamber, and
making it the
premier
organization it
is today.
In
closing, I
invite you to
mark March 30th
on your calendar
for the 2nd
Annual, "Big
Deal"
event held at
the Val Air.
This event was a
huge success
last year, and
promises to be
even more fun
this year. I
look forward to
seeing you
there!
Please
know I am
honored to be
this year's
Chairperson and
believe we are
"positioned
perfectly" for a
stellar 2012 of
exciting times
and great
growth. Thank
you.

& Smith,
