CAMDEN RISING TOGETHER

#CamdenRising

Prepared by Cooper’s Ferry Partnership

Welcome On behalf of Cooper’s Ferry Partnership and the City of Camden, we are pleased to welcome you to the 2018 Annual Meeting. Every year, the excitement builds as we reconnect with the region’s community, development, and business leaders and reflect on the previous year’s accomplishments. The theme of this year’s meeting, Momentum Camden, exemplifies both the progress made and the possibilities of what is to come. As we look forward to a new year, we remind ourselves our work is not finished and there is so much to accomplish together.

Today’s presentations feature representatives from diverse backgrounds contributing to #camdenrising. Our moderators, Marianne Aleardi and Debra DiLorenzo bring extraordinary talent that will highlight how partners throughout the city are helping to reshape the future of Camden through their ongoing commitment to the city.

Make sure to pick up a copy of the 2018 Annual Report before you leave to learn about the remarkable changes happening in the city.

The report provides a snapshot of the projects, programs and policies making a difference in Camden every day. You will see these successes are realized through the collaboration and dedication of countless organizations and individuals from throughout the region.

This culture of teamwork maximizes our achievements and is closely tied to our success. As you engage with your peers, colleagues, partners and, friends, we challenge you to use this meeting to build new relationships and meet new people, because these connections are often where new ideas and partnerships are formed. Thank you for joining us today and for your ongoing support. Let us promise to continue to lend our talents and efforts to this great community. The possibilities are endless.
