CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MESSAGE

Thank you for visiting my corner of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce website. I'd like to start by thanking the chamber's Board of Directors for giving me this opportunity to serve the Fredericton business community. I'm extremely eager to get to work.

My first order of business? To get to know our membership of over 850 organizations. To accomplish this daunting task, I need your help. Members will see my number on your caller display, my email address in your inbox, and even my face in your shop/office in the coming weeks and months. I'm keen to learn first hand what makes our members successful, as well as what challenges you're facing today so the Chamber can continue to set priorities and plans accordingly, and advocate effectively on your behalf. Your time and a good chat would assist me immensely.

To that end I ask for your participation in our upcoming member survey. The survey feedback is extremely valuable to us and aids directly in shaping our programs; the higher the response rate, the better!

The staff and I invite anyone considering joining the Fredericton Chamber to get in touch. We have a deep offering of benefits, programs and services for organizations large and small alike, and we're eager to explore how we could add value for your business.

Finally, to our members, thank you. Your engagement in our community really helps to make Fredericton a great place to do business, and to live. Let me reiterate that I would love to hear from you. Give me a call, send me an email, a tweet, or better yet, drop by in person. Together, we can build the Fredericton Chamber to be even more effective in supporting our members' growth, and advocating for your interests as the Voice of Business in Fredericton.
