LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
C ongratulations and welcome to our newest members of The Chamber! Our “Pi Day” membership deal brought in a total of 37 new businesses, each listed in the back of this issue. We are so excited to promote and help each business succeed, from creating new ways to connect to providing avenues and resources for growth. The Chamber’s Leadership Class of 2023 has officially graduated! Congratulations to the graduates, and a special thank you to our sponsors, Rogue Disposal and Adroit Construction for making this program possible. Throughout their 8 month journey, participants in the class received behind-the-scenes tours, and insight from leaders throughout the community. In addition to enhancing their skills and understanding, leadership participants also worked on three community service projects for the nonprofits: Youth 71Five, Community Works and the Girl Scouts of Oregon and SouthWest Washington. Stay tuned on how you can get involved in the next program, starting this September! Connection is a clear focus and one of The Chamber’s strategic objectives. In our last Forum, April 10, Daniel Schram, Emergency Department Outreach Specialist with Providence Medford Medical Center, discussed their program “Creating Better Outcomes thru Bridges”. Ready to learn about our community, and connect with over 300 businesses in attendance? Our next Forum is May 8, featuring Travel Medford - the largest Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) in southern Oregon. Be sure to save your spot and purchase a ticket on our website! If you are passionate about making an impact in your career and getting connected with the community, our Young Professionals Network (YPN) is the perfect way to start! Kick start your career by mingling with like-minded and ambitious business people Thursday, May 11 from 4:45 - 7:00 p.m. at Del Rio Vineyards. Your $15 ticket will include endless opportunities for connection, a drink and light food. We can’t wait to see you there!
