PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings friends and neighbors,
I am delighted to reach out to you as the President of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded of all the remarkable activities the chamber sponsored and participated in with our community partners. Our goal is to promote local business and economic growth along with improving the quality of life for all residents of the area.
As you can see in this wonderful publication, the chamber, through the board of directors and membership, continued our long tradition of many truly loved and cherished events: Blooming Festival, Children’s Christmas Event, Distinguished Citizen Event, “It Pays To Shop Local”, Brunswick stew sale, new resident gift bags, scholarships and Business of the Year.
In addition to these activities, the chamber partnered with other groups and organizations to bring additional programs and events to make Nashville a better place to live and work. Working with Nashville Parks and Recreation in addition to the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments, Downtown Trick or Treat Street recorded its biggest attendance ever. Partnering with The Nashville Graphic, shoppers were encouraged to shop local with Shop Small Saturday and “Christmas in July.”
With the recent elections, the chamber hosted a Candidate Meet and Greet for all local candidates. The chamber also instituted a new program to recognize A Business of the Season, which is awarded each quarter.
Events and programs are valuable, but more crucial is how our community interacts and collaborates to enhance the quality of life for all businesses and citizens. That is the true test for all of us. Though we may disagree at times on the best way to accomplish things, Nashville is improved by all of us working together for the overall good. A community is not some big event or award ceremony, but it is the people who make the difference. Whether a community volunteer, local business owner or just citizen, how we interact with and deal with each other ultimately determines the true quality and character of our community. And that is something for which I am so proud of Nashville.
This year has been a testament to the strength of all our collective efforts. We have seen new businesses open their doors and longstanding establishments expand. As we look ahead, I am excited about the future of our town. By working together, we can build a community that offers unparalleled opportunities for all.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our members, volunteers, and supporters who have contributed their time, energy, and resources towards the chamber’s goals. Your support is vital to our continued success. I encourage you to stay engaged, participate in our events, join the chamber and volunteer.
I am proud to work with such a wonderful group of hardworking directors and members. Be sure to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts.

“Building
on the Best from Yesterday for a Better Tomorrow”
The Nashville Chamber of Commerce was initially formed in 1951. However during the mid-to-late 70s, the organization ceased activities due to withering volunteerism.
The chamber was revived in 1991 becoming fully operational by 1992.
A new mission statement was penned by the first president and visionary Ben Casey, along with a committee of business leaders.
The statement is quite simple, but powerful.
The first chamber written correspondence in 1992 stated:
“The most significant thing on our boast list is our enthusiastic desire not to rest on any past laurels, but to continue to strive to learn from yesterday to make tomorrow better. Our citizens join with our chamber of commerce in efforts to provide the very best opportunities in education, health services, recreational activities, and all other facets of life that center more on the quality of life, not just the quantity of life.”
“It is not enough to simply say that the people make Nashville special. It is the attitude of our people that is really special. Our people, fully aware we are approaching the twentieth century, are ready for the challenges ahead without losing the flavor, warmth, humor, and sense of caring that comes from our rich heritage, dating back to 1780, the year of the founding of Nashville.”
