Providing Leadership and Opportunity for business
Message from the Chairman It is an honor to be elected as the 2013 Chairman of the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce. Working under Scott Mayes, immediate past chairman, for the past year has been a pleasure. As Scott mentioned in his speech at the annual banquet, our Chamber continues to provide VALUE to our Chamber members. Without you, OUR Members, we would not be able to continue to put on our signature events. When I was asked to join the Chamber Board of Directors back in 2008, I was thrilled. I felt this position would allow me the opportunity to continue promoting the Chamber and all it does for the Greater West Chester Community. My family has had a long history in the West Chester Community and in one business or another, we have been members of the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce for over 60 years. My
Great Grandfather, C. Rodney Jefferis (1960) and my grandfather, P. Edward Jefferis (1975) were both selected as Outstanding Citizens of the Year by the Chamber. My family and I know first hand, it pays off for individuals and businesses to do business within the communities they live and work. As many of you who grew up in the Greater West Chester community, we have seen many changes to our area over the years. One of the constants though, has been our Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce. They have continued to provide VALUE for many local businesses for more than 60 years. With a staff of 4, I remain amazed everyday on what OUR Chamber is able to provide to our Members. continued to page 6
