Let me start out by expressing my gratitude to each and every member. Your continued support of and patience with us during these times of transition constantly remind us of the caliber of business leaders we serve. You are the reason we work so hard to create a Chamber of Commerce that is the envy of Chambers everywhere.

Your support is needed now more than ever. We are taking a look at our operations and evaluating whether or not they are meeting your needs. We don't want to assume how you feel, we need to hear from you. Over the next two months, we will conduct an online survey to get your feedback. Please participate.

In addition, our Ambassadors will be calling on you for a visit. Along with getting face-to-face feedback, we want to make sure you are accessing all of the features your membership provides. They can help you with that.

But, you don't have to wait for us to tell us what you think about the work we are doing. If you have critiques or praises, we want to hear them. Send us an email at president@desotoareachamber.org. Your voice matters to us.

We cherish your continued support and commitment to this Chamber.

Yours in service,
