Chamber Sets Strategic Goals During its kick-off Board meeting for 2021, the Board of Directors approved new Strategic Goals for the Chamber. This four point plan is being implemented not only enhance to the Chamber, but moreover, in a wider sense highlight some of the outstanding things going on with our members and the community in general. The first goal is that the Chamber will be known as a prominent business advocate and resource for the businesses in the Northern Miami Valley Region. This has always been the Chamber’s primary function-to advocate for the businesses we serve. This goal enables us to use all the resources at our disposal from a myriad of different sources to maximize our marketing potential, increase the referrals of businesses to the Chamber, and gain feedback from members about the service the Chamber provides. The Chamber exists in large part because of the loyalty of its members. We recognize and value that, which is exemplified by our second goal; which is to make Troy known for being a “business friendly” or as some say “pro business” through the efforts of the Chamber. This will be accomplished first by hosting business roundtables in the forthcoming year to address key issues facing Troy businesses. We are also going to work to educate new businesses coming to Troy about the proper permitting process that they must undertake with both the City and County governments. The Chamber and the Troy Development Council (TDC) will work outwardly as a “one stop shop.” In essence they are two organizations working together to support our businesses. This year, businesses can expect the debut of joint marketing materials to be used as tools to help businesses, and processes which will enable members to contact both the Chamber and the TDC at the same time, while both entities will have clearly defined roles to advocate for the local economy. The fact that the Chamber and the TDC are so inextricably linked, makes the Chamber value the partnership we form within the community all the more. This encapsulates the third goal of 2021 which is enhance and explore community partnerships for opportunities, and common resources. All community organizations may have different functions; but our goal(s) are ultimately the same. To assure the growth and prosperity of Troy as it maintains is prominence a leader throughout this region. On our end, the Chamber will continue to work closely with the City, Troy Main Street and the TDC as we continue to work in partnership to insure that Troy remains a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.
