OUR CHAMBER
hello!
I would like to express my excitement and enthusiasm in serving our community and O’Fallon Chamber members. It can be challenging to move to a new community, but our members, City Officials, leaders, and residents have extended the warmest of welcomes. I am most excited to get to know each business and their story. From the several that I have had a chance to hear from, I have learned so much about the dedication and camaraderie our community emulates. I am ready to work hard for O’Fallon and continue our development. Staff, volunteers and community leaders have made amazing progress in 2018. With innovative programs such as our O’Fallon Leadership Development small group, we are providing unique opportunities to members, to grow professionally and within our community. Our O’Fallon Chamber Ambassadors are out in the community meeting businesses and celebrating their successes. They have contributed more than 2,000 hours of volunteer time to the O’Fallon’s business community and are champions for our city. We are thankful for the amazing accolades and achievements the O’Fallon Chamber has earned, while we are also continuing forward in our journey toward excellence. As a Chamber, in 2019, we will focus on providing higher value to our members through our networking events, educational opportunities, advocacy efforts and community engagement. We are the second largest city in the metroplex, outside of St. Louis, but our members are second to none. A well connected community is important to our city’s health and future. Keeping it local helps everyone because our local businesses are reinvesting in O’Fallon, providing individualized service to customers and meeting the needs of residents. Through this directory, you can shop local and support your community. These members have invested in you, their customer, by volunteering their time, support and talent. Let’s continue to cultivate a thriving community and Keep it in the O! Kathy Duck President/CEO O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce & Industries
