INTRODUCTION

from the President/CEO

Welcome to our 2023 Business Plan issue of the Chamber Voice of Business magazine.

The big picture: This is your quick-guide to our new 3-Year Strategic Plan (2023-24-25), 2023 Strategic Goals and supporting 2023 Program of Work for each of the Chamber’s divisions.

• Please take time to read it; you’ll get to know your Chamber better and learn how our mission-work benefits you, the Rogers-Lowell area, and our region.

Raymond Burns, CCE President/CEO rburns@rogerslowell.com

What’s next: Last year, we celebrated 100 years of serving business and community together. Now, we’re riding that momentum towards the future with our forward-thinking initiative - Vision/NEXT. • This initiative is inspiring our entire organization to be innovative and uncover new ways of doing things. It’s essential as we work with new generations of community leaders helping us to achieve our vision and mission. One example is our new name and brand identity.

Why it’s important: Vision/NEXT will help the Chamber ensure: • We are relevant to the next generation of leaders.

• We are competent in this era of rapid change.

• We remain necessary because our mission-work solves real business and community challenges.

• We are sustainable with our funding.

Serving business & community together: Your role as our partner is to get engaged and communicate with us. We want to understand your needs and priorities based upon your unique perspective and what you deal with daily.

• As an organization that represents business and community, we’re only as good as the feedback and communications we receive from our members. You are the Chamber.

The Mission 5: Your continued support for our mission-work’s five key focus areas – Advocacy & Government Affairs, Community Development, Destination Marketing & Management, Economic Development, and Small Business & Entrepreneurial Development – helps us to be the best of the best as a region, as a state, and as a community.

Thank you for your membership investment.
