Chamber Board Sets Foundation for Future

The ENM Chamber of Commerce board recently invested several hours establishing a foundation for the organization's future. On Wednesday, February 6, the board participated in a strategic planning session at Market Village Apartments, led by Bob Vogel, president of New Market Bank. We left the session with a greater sense of direction and priorities, and a renewed commitment to providing value to our members. We will be developing and implementing work plans in the weeks and months ahead to help us achieve our mission and work toward the vision we defined in our strategic planning efforts. 

We know that to best serve you, our members, we need to provide value through resources and events, and marketing of our business community. In the coming weeks, the board will be reaching out to you personally to learn what you would like from the Chamber. In the meantime, if you have suggestions for how we can help you, please e-mail us at: elkonewmarketchamberofcommerce@gmail.com.

Resource: The Relationship Between Vision and Productivity

Because strategic planning is on our minds right now and often something business owners undertake at the beginning of a year, we thought we'd share this podcast from Michael Hyatt: The Relationship Between Vision and Productivity. If you prefer, there's also a transcript available. What is your vision for your business? Keeping that vision in focus can help you propel through the daily tasks.
