The end of the year is upon us! It is truly gratifying to look back on the eight short months that I have served as the interim President and CEO for the Greater Fayetteville Chamber. We have accomplished a lot, yet we have so much more to do. Our community is beginning to come together to tell the story of what makes this a special community and a special region of the country. I have had several productive meetings with our friends at the Fayetteville-Cumberland Economic Development Corporation, spearheaded by Jack Rostetter, and the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau run by John Meroski. We have agreed to work cooperatively to spread the story of why the greater Fayetteville community is a wonderful place to live and work, a community on the move! With the constant feedback and encouragement of our members, we are committed to becoming "Best in Class". A great community deserves a best in class chamber. Finally, I want to acknowledge the incredible hard work of the staff of the Chamber, Jenny Proctor, Kelly Moore and Nick Capapas. They have moved mountains on behalf of this community this year. I also want to express great appreciation for our Chair Kitti Jo Finch, the Executive and Operations Committee's for their tireless work, our awesome Board of Director of the Chamber and fi nally the work of our other committees, Chamber Ambassadors, Fayetteville Young Professionals, Military Affairs and Government Affairs. It is because of the collective work of all the volunteers, many who go nameless (but never forgotten), that our community is a better place. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber, I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and an excellent start to 2017!
