PRESIDENT & CEO It’s an honor and privilege to lead our 5 - star Accredited Chamber, one of the top 1 percent of chambers nationwide.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT &
Edmond is built upon the consistency of our small businesses and the strength of our education system. The chamber has successfully created programs and supported initiatives that enhance this foundation of success for over 115 years. Our 2023 program priorities of small business, networking, government relations, community outreach, member development, and developing the next generation of leaders will be no different than in years past. We will focus on enhancing and maintaining the chamber’s role in ensuring Edmond’s business and education communities remain top notch. With the foundation of our membership strong and our programs and events better than ever, we are now shifting our focus externally onto the role we can play to enhance and grow business in Edmond. As your business leaders, we commit to ensuring the voice of business is heard and the lines of communication with government officials are open. We commit to further educate and inform our membership of the issues that impact our community, and we will fight to support and promote the best interest of our Edmond businesses.
