A NOTE FROM THE CHAMBER

In 2022, we were so excited to celebrate 95 years as an organization in our community! We had great attendance and participation at our events and programs. We hope to see that increase even more in 2023 as we strive to provide quality speakers, information, and programming These initiatives are designed to connect you to leaders, information, and resources for you to develop as a business and professional.

We had a lofty goal to create a Foundation in 2022 to focus on workforce initiatives. We not only created it but were able to host our first-ever 8th grade career exploration event with nearly 500 students participating. Thanks to our initial partners, we were able to secure nearly $50,000 to help us accomplish these endeavors and more We will be hosting additional initiatives in 2023 and look forward to partnering with more investors to make a larger impact in our future.

2023 is an opportunity for a new Leadership Murray Class and a new regional leadership program to help us unite as the true West Kentucky region I strongly believe shared experiences bond people in a unique way. Building relationships with others is key to your success. We make those opportunities available and hope you can take advantage in the new year

Our Chamber is successful and recognized both statewide and nationally for its leadership, programs, and efforts. None of that could happen without you and we are so grateful for your continued support! The Chamber’s overall effort to advance the community includes focusing on advocacy, development, promotion, member savings programs and building connections. Let’s continue to work together for a positive and greater community impact in 2023!
