2011 Chamber Annual Report — The Newnan Times-Herald — 27
Thank you to our returning Chamber members
Membership Growth for Chamber of Commerce at an All-Time High The membership goals and the member retention goals for 2011 were EXCEEDED in the face of a distressed economy. This is an impressive fact under any circumstances but especially so in 2011. Why did the Chamber post such a terrific membership year? In large part it was because our member’s businesses were growing at the same time. Their involvement with the Chamber grew because our members see the value of heavy participation
in the Chamber. It is an old chamber of commerce maxim that to get the most value out of a chamber membership, the member has to participate in their chamber. This opens opportunities for the member to work into leadership positions, become better known and trusted through increased networking opportunities and to gain acknowledgement through ear ned awards such as Volunteer of the Year and others. The value of our Chamber’s
events and educational opportunities are great for our members who choose to benefit from them. Not only does the Chamber improve but the community at large does as well. We thank our members for helping to make the NewnanCoweta Chamber of Commerce one of the most respected and effective chambers in Georgia. We pledge to continue to look for improvements in our performance to continue to “Keep Coweta Great.”
Chamber Recognizes 51 Long-term Members The Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce is honored to recognize a very special group of 51 members who have demonstrated both loyalty and commitment to their business and to their community through their membership in the Chamber. These members represent a collective voice of 5,552 employees. Their ongoing membership makes each of them distinct and worthy of recognition for their continuous years of membership. The most senior member is Crain Oil Company with 47 continuous years of membership. “This type of loyalty and commitment is what allows the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce to provide an effective and cohesive business advocacy,” said Vicki Kaiser, the 2011 Chair of the Chamber. “Coweta County is fortunate to have these businesses here to provide jobs, a strong tax base and leadership in our community.” As of first quarter of 2011, the following companies are being honored for their long-term memberships in the NewnanCoweta Chamber of Commerce:
