Your dedication and hard work have been the driving force behind our community's growth and success. As we step into the New Year, let's continue to collaborate, innovate, and support each other in our endeavors. Here's to a prosperous and fulfilling 2024! Your Wasilla Chamber of Commerce has a strong 2024 planned, with lots of new announcements to come throughout the year - we are excited to get rolling, and cant wait to share everything we’ve been working on with you all! Jessica Viera CEO, Greater Wasilla Chamber of Commerce
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
New Years Resolutions! You might be saying, “Really … are we going to talk about those again”?? Actually … yes and no!! The New Year does provide a natural time for making “resolutions” to do more, be better, start again, etc. Most of those things require CHANGE! I’m writing to share with you that YOUR Greater Wasilla Chamber has a “resolution”, but it’s not different or new. It’s about our Mission which says … Our Mission is to be YOUR leader in advocating a business climate that fosters positive economic growth and prosperity. Our mission (RESOLUTION) for 2024 is the same as it has been for years … No change needed! We are here to represent YOU … To advocate for YOU … To lead in pressing forward issues on YOUR behalf … To provide educational opportunities for YOU! While 2024 will be different for all of us in so many ways, for YOUR Greater Wasilla Chamber of Commerce, our New Years resolution will be to keep on doing what we’ve been doing … FOR YOU! So Happy New Year … and we’ll leave any other resolutions to you! Brian Headdings Chair, Board of Directors, Greater Wasilla Chamber of Commerce
