As I write this inaugural newsletter message of 2016, I find myself wondering...what might the Past Presidents of this amazing organization expect me to relay? Clearly there is an over-abundance of great things from 2015 that I can share: our first and profoundly successful year of Project 2020, an amazing Annual Celebration, a record-turnout Golf Outing, increased membership growth to 732 members, great synergy between the Chamber, City of Middleton, local business community and the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, and an unbelievable level of dedication from our members and staff.
I am truly honored to serve as your President in 2016. Outgoing President Bob Vanden Burgt deserves a round of applause for his amazing leadership in 2015. He has laid a strong foundation as we begin another solid year in 2016. Thank you Bob! I would also be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank Van, Lisa and Brenda for all of their time and efforts spent continually making the Middleton Chamber of Commerce the solid organization it is.
Project 2020 was launched by your Board of Directors in 2015, focusing on 4 key strategic areas: Micro to Macro, Connecting Business to Talent, 'Friendly' Expanded Programming and Virtual Chamber. All four groups worked diligently over the past year to create many new ideas within our framework of content for members. We now have over 8 Micro Groups meeting regularly, monthly Lunch & Learns, Business Trolley tours showcasing the local business community, the INSPIRE program that will soon better integrate the business community and school district, and we have captured a great deal of video content for members over the past year. I can assure you that 2016 will bring even more great content as we move forward with "year two" of Project 2020!
Speaking of greatness... I hope you have all marked your calendars for this year's Annual Celebration - Sip, Sample & Socialize at the Marriott. With 25 food and beverage vendors, great live music, a silent auction that features 100 amazing items from local and regional vendors and an unparalleled opportunity to socialize and interact with fellow members and the community. As an added bonus this year, bidding for the silent auction will be done "virtually" through your mobile device - so bid early and bid often! This phenomenal event could not happen if it wasn't for the amazing dedication from the planning committee, sponsors and volunteers - thank you in advance for a job well done! I look forward to seeing all of you on January 27!
I know that this year will be great, each and everyone one of you are what make it possible! Thank you for your dedication to your Chamber. I look forward to seeing many of you at a future event or group meeting, and challenge you to invite a friend or colleague to join us!
Cheers!
Josh
